The Creative Writing Center offers courses in a wide range of genres, including fiction, poetry, playwriting, creative nonfiction, hybrid forms and translation. We host a reading series each semester, facilitate co-curricular writing activities, and support a variety of campus-wide literary events, providing opportunities for students to further their writing and connect with other writers beyond the classroom. Our goal is to bring together a diverse literary community to deepen and support the creative work of all our students.
If you would like to receive periodic announcements about our events and other events in the Valley, please email crnewman@amherst.edu.
We partner with Amherst Books. Please support out local beloved bookstore!
