Learn how to express yourself through creative writing.
Western Colorado University’s Creative Writing emphasis provides a supportive community of writers who collaborate rather than compete. In this environment, you’ll feel comfortable sharing your creative work and honing the skills needed to write original poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction and scripts. In the comprehensive curriculum, you’ll take a variety of courses including Media Writing, Scriptwriting, and Literary Theory and Criticism.
At Western, you also have a wide variety of opportunities to present, perform, and practice your skills. Join our Creative Writing student organization, WordHorde, or work as a consultant in the Writing Center. Before you graduate, you’ll gain experience editing a book published through Western Press Books, Western’s undergraduate publishing company, and preparing your own work for submission to magazines and publishers.
