Option in Creative Writing

www.trentu.ca/english

The Option in Creative Writing is designed for those students who have an interest in exploring and developing creative writing as a complement to their current disciplinary studies. The courses are designed for incremental development, aiming to give students an opportunity to study the theory and craft of writing and to apply what they learn in writing activities, assignments, and workshops. Over the course of study, students will expand their writing repertoire, build writing communities, and learn techniques for revising while building portfolios using a variety of literary styles and approaches.
