Creative Writing Program
Creative Writing ProgramThe formation of writers and the cultivation of literary life
Study creative writing at the University of Virginia through a fully funded MFA in Creative Writing in fiction and poetry and a vibrant undergraduate program, both shaped by intensive workshops and a dynamic literary community.
Faculty and alumni have received major national honors, including the Pulitzer Prize, Guggenheim Fellowships, and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, and have published widely with leading literary presses.
Through small workshops, close faculty mentorship, and a year-round calendar of readings and literary events, writers develop original work within one of the nation's most distinguished creative writing communities.
