In creative writing, we make stories. We study stories. We craft language into poetry, creative nonfiction, and fiction. We do a lot more, of course like exploring the intersection of psychology and history and culture, thinking about the politics of style, and paying close attention to the astonishing world around us but whether youre crafting sonnets or science fiction, the real heart of what we do is magic: building worlds out of words. Through literary study and craft-based workshops, our writers work to master skills like narrative construction, rhythm, worldbuilding, imagery, metaphor, and characterization, while also closely reading literatures from around the world.
