Overview

The Creative Writing program from Guilford College offers both creative flexibility and structural coherence, allowing emerging writers to concentrate on a field of special interest like fiction or poetry, or to sample from a range of genres and courses. Classes are taught by accomplished and award-winning writing faculty who emphasize collaborative, workshop-centered learning; drafting, critique and revision of manuscripts; and practical editing and publishing skills and knowledge.

What you'll learn

Students pursuing the minor study the formal and aesthetic conventions that shape literature and creative writing in its various genres; draft, revise and polish their own creative writing; read and study models in specific genres; and gain introductory experience in both theory and the practice of being a creative writer.

Our accessible and supportive faculty prepare you for a career in media, education, law, government, business and much more. Regardless of the creative path you choose, the bachelor of arts and minor in Creative Writing will help you discover how to wield the power of words to create the life, and the world, you seek.
