Overview

This English - Creative Writing program from Tennessee Tech University produces strong writers with a critical eye for detail and ability to excel in individual and collaborative environments.

Career-Ready Skills

Collaboration. Creative writers build their careers on the connections they make, and our concentration focuses on constructing communities among students and faculty during workshops.
Project Management. Creative writers take their work through multiple stages–combining idea generation with drafting and feedback with revision.
Entrepreneurial Spirit. Writers are adept at thinking up new angles and pitching their work. You'll get help (and practice) doing these things in our program.

Skills like these transfer well to publishing, sales and marketing, publicity, advertising, copywriting, or nonprofit administration.

Experiential Opportunities

Tennessee Tech’s literary journal the Iris Review publishes poetry, fiction, and art from across our campus and community; it’s also mostly run by students in the Creative Writing concentration.

Under the Sun, an online journal of creative nonfiction based in Cookeville, selects creative writers as volunteers to work on their latest editions.

Also available to students are famous visiting writers invited to Tech through Center Stage. Majors in the concentration are invited to attend readings, workshops, and dinners with series guests.
