Creative writing courses at Reed are taught as workshops by
practicing writers. Students write works of poetry and fictional
and nonfictional prose, which are distributed to other participants
in the workshop for review and critique. In addition to the
workshops, occasional discussions and meetings with visiting
writers are part of the program. Students are encouraged to
participate in literary events both on and off campus and to create
such events of their own.
Admission to creative writing courses requires consent of the
instructor based on a writing sample. Creative theses are possible
when faculty supervision is available and when the student’s work
gains approval from the creative thesis committee.
