- The Creative Writing program at Seattle University takes the stand that good readers make good writers. Rather than offering a stand-alone writing degree, the Seattle University English Department offers a literature-focused English major with a Creative Writing concentration in the belief that developing critical reading and analytical skills are essential to a writer’s evolution.
- Program Benefits:
- Literature-focused undergraduate English/Creative Writing degree
- Personal attention from faculty
- Classes in multiple genres
- Seattle University/Elliott Bay Book Company Reading Series
- Visiting writer/professors
- Fragments literary magazine
- Portfolio completion
- Emphasizing the craft of writing and the close reading of classic and contemporary texts, Seattle University’s Creative Writing program includes core English classes in British, American, and ethnic literature as well as writing courses in multiple genres, including fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and playwriting or screenwriting.
- As a result, Creative Writing students not only acquire experience writing creatively, they also hone their skills writing about the great works of literature they encounter as English majors.
- The program offers creative writing classes across genres including fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry and scriptwriting as well as in special topics such as the graphic novel, science fiction, literary fiction, screenplay writing and others.
- While Creative Writing students will have the opportunity to work closely with English and Creative Writing faculty in the English department, they will also have the chance to study with visiting professors from the Pacific Northwest’s vibrant artistic community. Visiting writers have included fiction writer Kathleen Alcalá, Washington State Poet Laureate Sam Green, comic/graphic novelist Peter Bagge, detective fiction writer Skye Moody, science fiction author Steven Barnes, and screenplay writer Stewart Stern.
- As part of their program, students can acquire additional experience by contributing to the 50-plus-year-old Fragments literary magazine, attending literary readings at the nearby Elliott Bay Book Company, competing for the Gerald Manley Hopkins SJ writing prize, participating in internships at publishing companies, magazines and arts organizations, studying abroad in Paris or Ireland and other locales, attending the opera and building portfolios of their work.
- Students also will have the chance to become part of the dynamic cultural and literary community that thrives in Seattle, Washington.
