Overview

Key Features

Candidates of the Creative Writing program at Minnesota State University Mankato typically spend three years completing their coursework, their workshops, and their book-length theses. Along the way, on campus and off, they have the opportunity to grow within a rich and active community of writers, in activities such as the Good Thunder Reading Series and the Writers Bloc Open Reading Series.

The Creative Writing Program is staffed entirely by published poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers. We believe students at all levels of instruction should be guided by individuals steeped in their own creative projects and familiar with the common challenges surrounding bringing imaginative works to completion.
