Welcome from the Director

Established for over fifty years, the Creative Writing Program is committed to fostering and expanding the exuberant writing talents some students bring to Stanford and many more find here. We provide workshops and independent tutorials in fiction, poetry and nonfiction. Drawing on our talented pool of Stegner Fellows and Jones Lecturers, we enhance those experiences with undergraduate readings and individual mentorship. Our endowed readings and Visiting Writers Series - the Lane Lecture Series, the Stein Visiting Writer, and the Mohr Visiting Poet - are unique events open to the community. The Levinthal Tutorials provide one-on-one guidance for undergraduates. Through its connection with the English Department, the Creative Writing Program offers exciting opportunities to all Stanford Students.
