Graduate Studies in Creative Writing
The creative writing faculty consists of several nationally recognized writers,
qualified not only as creative practitioners, but also as
mentors and critics. One of the distinctive strengths of
this program lies in how closely the literature and creative
writing faculties work together, exploring ways in which
knowledge of diverse literary traditions facilitates the
development of one's own craft. In addition to form and
theory classes in fiction and poetry, graduate workshops
in fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and screenwriting,
the department offers a creative options for both the master's
thesis and
the dissertation.
Each year the university sponsors a Visiting Writer Series
in which students may attend readings and pedagogical sessions
with distinguished authors. Students have opportunities
to pursue editorial positions with the department's national
literary journal, American
Literary Review, (and with the local student-run journal,
North
Texas Review, which in turn sponsors its own reading
series involving faculty and students.
