Creative Writing, Minor
Through small, intensive writing workshops, students minoring in creative writing at 老司机福利网 build their abilities to use innovative craft techniques to develop multiple dimensions of textual complexity in creative compositions, including fiction, poetry, drama and creative nonfiction.
Complementary coursework in literature enhances SLU students' awareness of literary traditions, enabling them to put their creative compositions into dialogue with significant literary predecessors.
The English department sponsors opportunities for creative writing minors to experience the world of contemporary literary arts. Creative writing minors can participate in live readings and publish their original work in The Kiln Project, an online literary magazine of SLU student creative writing. Students also engage visiting writers through the department's Georgia K. Johnston Writer-in-Residency Program.
