Creative Writing Program

WRITING IS A DREAM. Writing is also work. It fulfills and frustrates and fascinates. At SMU, you don’t write alone. Whether you are on the final draft of your fifth novel or starting the first sentence of your first article, we can teach you how to work toward your dream. We offer you the tools, the techniques and the teachers – professionals who have seized the dream. Stop dreaming, start writing. At SMU, writers write.

 

Fall courses begin weekly throughout November and December!

Spring course registration will open December 2.
