The Creative Writing concentration at Montreat College is designed to provide students the opportunity to pursue their passion for imaginative writing of poetry, short fiction, literary non-fiction, and the novella. English- Creative Writing majors work alongside professors and peers in small, intensive workshop-style classes. In addition, Creative Writing majors are provided the opportunity to showcase their work through the college sponsored reading series and submissions to Q, the Montreat College literary magazine. Our future poets, essayists, and novelists - all Montreat College student writers - are encouraged to have their voices heard through participation in area writing festivals, contests, lectures, and public readings.
