As a student in the English Department\u2019s creative writing major, you\u2019ll learn to analyze effectively and to write persuasively in courses taught by faculty who are themselves published writers. Analysis of the work of great writers will provide you with ideas and inspiration, while interactive workshops will allow you to present your writing to classmates and receive valuable feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several outlets for your creative writing. You can enter any of the English Department\u2019s four annual writing contests; submit your work for publication in Clark\u2019s student literary magazine; or publish your work on the Clark Student Voices blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qualified students are eligible for election to Sigma Tau Delta, the National Honor Society in English.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
