Be a part of the history of writing and writers at The New School. From 1927 to 1931, the creative writing workshop evolved at The New School into what would become the first academic workshop in creative writing. Today, these signature workshops are still evolving—as we come together to devise the conditions for producing our most authentic work, and in The New School tradition, learn by doing. In this course students may submit poetry, nonfiction, fiction, or hybrid work. They can write across genres and include other art forms and modes of expression. Writing can engage visual elements and be explicitly creative (i.e. graphic fiction, graphic memoir, graphic poetry, etc.) or explicitly critical (i.e. art criticism, music criticism, cultural criticism, etc.) Come prepared for fresh adventures — as a reader, and as a writer. Special attention is paid to the professional questions we share about publishing, collaboration, and building a life as an artist.
