The Kidd Workshops
Overview: A unique studio experience in which students pursue their passion for creative writing. Students enter one of two tracks: fiction or poetry. They then workshop their creative work in small classes with the support of peers and a graduate mentor. They also learn to read like writers, analyzing literature as part of a rigorous critical discourse. Students attend lectures by visiting writers and Creative Writing faculty, with the opportunity to engage with critically acclaimed working writers.
