The Master's in Creative Writing and Literature prepares students to be poets, novelists, essayists, short story writers, reviewers, editors, and teachers. One of the department's largest and most vibrant tracks, the program offers creative writing workshops in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, and features individualized attention from highly published, award-winning faculty. In addition to taking writing workshops, creative writing students receive both a broad and specialized education in the traditions of British and American literature. Students in the program have the opportunity to serve on the editorial staff of Touchstone, K-State's annual literary journal, or teach in our summer Young Writers' Program for middle-schoolers.
