Creative Writing at The New School follows an evolved workshop method of teaching and discussion: an experienced practitioner provides guidance, both in class and during individual conferences. Students balance inspiration with revision; explore methodologies while developing their individual voices and styles. The structure and content of workshops are adapted to the individual area of concentration. The MFA provides students with a framework and time to focus extensively on their own writing. Graduate workshops may include an assigned reading list and occasional visits by guest writers or associated professionals. Classes meet once a week in two and a half hour sessions, and are conveniently scheduled in the early evenings. Workshops are intended for MFA students; other university students may enroll based on availability and permission.
