Marquette incubates a vast array of writers: novelists, poets, storytellers, lyricists and artists working on the borders between genres.
Creative writing at Marquette is anchored by the Department of English, which offers courses in poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction taught by widely published authors.
Beyond the classroom, Marquette’s creative writers will find many ways to take risks, hone their skills and have fun.
