Creative Writing at Georgia Southern

In creative writing classes, you learn the craft of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction and screenwriting. Our faculty hold terminal degrees in creative writing, have published full-length collections, chapbooks, essays and articles, and are active in the national spotlight.

Our class sizes are some of the smallest on campus, so your workshop peers and teachers really get to know your writing and offer feedback. Graduates go on to pursue MFAs in creative writing, write professionally for corporations, publish their work and win awards.

The open mic reading series gives you a monthly chance to read your work aloud. The Creative Writing Club builds friendships. And because Georgia Southern is part of the nationally renowned , you鈥檒l have the chance to meet world-famous poets in the cozy setting of a classroom.

Questions? Curious what courses we鈥檙e offering next semester? Want to declare a minor in creative writing? Email Professor Christina Olson at colson@georgiasouthern.edu.
