Levinthal Tutorials
The Levinthal Tutorials are designed to allow undergraduate writers to work one-on-one with Stegner Fellows in poetry, fiction, and if available, nonfiction in a quarter-long course. Students design their own curriculum and are responsible for its initiative and completion. Stegner Fellows act as writing mentors and advisors. The Levinthal tutorials are offered in the Winter quarter of each year. There are approximately twelve tutorials available.
Each year, the Creative Writing Program welcomes two distinguished guests to teach a Stanford writing seminar to undergraduates; one in poetry and the other in fiction. These unique classes are kept small, limited to twelve students, and they focus on a subject of the writer’s expertise and choosing. The writer also holds a public reading and discussion. This year we welcome Colm Tóibín in the winter and Robert Bly in the spring.
The Four Minute Reading Series is held four times a year and features undergraduate writers along with Jones Lecturers. Each writer reads for four minutes, creating a lively and fast-moving literary event. The Four Minute Readings are held in the Terrace Room of Margaret Jacks Hall.

The Writers' Studio is a chance for Stanford undergraduates to work one-on-one with Stegner Fellows on a drop-in basis. The Writer's Studio is open to all undergrads, whether or not they are taking creative writing classes.
