Overview

Key Features

You can study creative writing on its own or pair your craft with other fields of study.

In the Creative Writing program from Evergreen State College, you can:

Analyze writing as a craft and develop your voice as a writer
Explore different writing styles and traditions
Conduct in-depth, project-based research
Learn to create content that resonates with your audience

Writers at Evergreen don't have to focus on a single genre. Whether you write fiction, non-fiction, poetry, screenplays, or a combination of styles, expert faculty can show you how to take an idea and turn it into a finished piece. With an emphasis on literary theory and history alongside practical lessons in the craft, your creative writing education will be a well-rounded experience.

Capstone opportunities and independent learning contracts with faculty in this field are perfect for creating a manuscript or building a professional writing portfolio.
