Overview
Some creative writing courses are taught primarily as workshops, with an emphasis on drafting and discussing student manuscripts, while others take up special topics such as science writing and memoir and the psyche. All of them expose students to contemporary literature, teach them to read like writers, and allow them to explore countless approaches to telling stories, crafting images, and developing an ear for language.
The Creative Writing program at College of the Holy Cross invites students to develop their own writing practices as well as join a community of working writers.
Students in creative writing:
- study with professors who are themselves published writers working in all three genres
- select from a range of creative writing and literature courses that allow them to create a minor or concentration that is tailored to their interests
- interact with some of the nation's most critically acclaimed writers through the Creative Writing Program's reading series
- present their own work through writing contests, student reading series, and Holy Cross' literary magazine, The Purple
