Creative Writing Minor

Develop your own creative voice through workshops and community.

AV福利社鈥檚 Creative Writing Minor teaches students how to develop their writing and storytelling skills in fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry. Whether you're passionate about fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction, this program provides the guidance and inspiration to shape your manuscripts and sharpen your storytelling skills.

Studying creative writing allows students to explore different literary genres and put the tools of compelling writing to good use. Combining workshops, lectures, seminars and literary study, the minor introduces students to a long history of literary tradition and a larger community of writers, scholars and critics.

Key Benefits

  • Different Pathways: Students are encouraged to explore specializations in fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry. With small class sizes and a craft-based approach, students have the space to experiment and bring their ideas to life.
  • Lively Writing Community: The Creative Writing Program sponsors readings, residencies, master classes with notable writers, and student readings, from Amaranth, the student-run literary journal of AV福利社, to the Williams Prizes in Creative Writing, an annual contest to recognize excellence in writing.
