The Georgia State University Department of English's Creative Writing Program offers diverse and challenging educational experiences in the literary arts. Our award-winning faculty of poets and fiction writers mentor undergraduate and graduate students who come to GSU to study the craft and art of writing, and to prepare for careers in writing, publishing, and academia. We award the PhD in English, Concentration in Creative Writing (one of the top 15 in the US, as ranked by Poets & Writers), the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, and the Master of Arts in English, Concentration in Creative Writing. Creative Writing Program students enjoy the benefits of living and writing in Atlanta, an international city with a vibrant literary culture, and great art, music, and food. Our students come from all over-Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, California, Nebraska, and even Georgia. Those students publish novels and collections of poems and stories, place work in top literary magazines, and win important prizes, fellowships, and contests.
