Creative Writing

All writers need the right tools, techniques, and support to develop their craft and build a career. Our courses bring talented authors and instructors together in a community to learn and grow with one another.

The Writer's Studio

The Writer’s Studio is a one-year, part-time creative writing program that blends dynamic learning with hands-on experience. The program emphasizes learning in community with other writers, faculty, mentors, and guest authors.
