Center for Creative Writing

Creative Writing Program

Students may major in English with a 45-credit concentration in Creative Writing designed to develop advanced writing skills in genres such as fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, scriptwriting, and RPG writing. Our pathway offers a variety of options among workshop, studio, bootcamp, and editorial courses. For more information, please visit the university catalog.

Students may also choose our 21-credit minor.

Non-English majors or minors are welcome to partake of our vibrant, interactive, experiential learning-based community through participation in any of our classes.

Micro-credential opportunities will also soon be available.

Creative Writing Club

The Creative Writing Club runs out of the Creative Writing Center. More so than anything else, we want to create a collaborative space where anyone who wants to come to write is welcome. We also want to run events like workshops or weekly writing prompts to encourage people to continue writing. We’re just starting to get established but excited to create a creative writing space!

Freelance Writing Presentation

We’re thrilled to share the recording and slides from “Monetize Your Writing on Upwork.com,” presented by MSU Denver senior and successful freelancer Lila Bear. In this valuable resource, Lila shares her journey and tips for earning money as a freelance writer and editor on Upwork, covering topics like ghostwriting novels, editing memoirs, and more. Whether you’re a creative writing student or a writer looking to expand your freelance opportunities, this presentation will provide the insights and inspiration you need to start monetizing your skills online.
