Creative Writing
Dates and Guidlines for Submissions to Classes
Registering for creative writing courses requires that students submit a writing sample and state for which course they are applying. Please tell us whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, and—if relevant—which other writing courses you have taken.
The due date for Fall 2012 classes is
Noon on April 18.
The facts about writing samples
-
Prose writing samples should consist of 3-5 pages (creative or otherwise) for fiction/non-fiction courses, and should submitted to Peter Rock’s Eliot mailbox. Samples sent by email will not be considered.
-
Poetry writing samples should consist of 3-5 poems. Students interested in 224: Awakenings and Connections or 331: Found Poems should submit samples via email to Samiya Bashir. Students interested in 274: Poetry Studio II should submit samples to the Eliot mailbox of Crystal Williams.
-
They are due at noon on Wednesday during the week of registration. For Spring 2013 courses, writing samples will be due during pre-registration in November (and decisions will be made at that time).
Writing samples can also be submitted at any time prior to the due date. Early submissions are appreciated. -
Students will be alerted via e-mail during pre-registration, if possible by the Friday of the first week of registration.
-
A second deadline, for late registration, is at noon on Wednesday of the week of late registration. This deadline is only for students returning from a leave. There may or may not be space for these students.
