Our department offers a wide variety of courses: poetry, fiction, stage play, screenplay, personal narrative and children's literature. Classes run on the standard workshop model, inviting and encouraging participation from the students.
Through our Literature Alive and Writer-in-Residence programs, we also provide opportunities for our students to meet and interact with writers from outside our Faculty. We publish a poem of the month broadsheet and Pearls, the annual anthology of work selected from our students' portfolios.
Creative Writing courses focus on the development of style and the treatment of content, not on writing skills. An appropriate level of writing skill is required. For information on Creative Writing and prerequisites for specific courses, please see the Douglas College Calendar.
