Creative Writing

Where to Start
Creative writing offers rewards far more certain than royalty checks and best seller lists. When starting a career in creative writing, consider these three questions:
- What can I do right now?
- How do I get published?
- How do I earn a living?
What Can I Do Right Now
Don't wait until graduation to start your career as a creative writer. BYU-Idaho provides many opportunities for you to share and improve your writing.
Conferences
Present your creative works at the various conferences supported by BYU-Idaho:
- Pre-Professional Conference
- Research and Creative Works Conference
- National Undergraduate and Literature Conference
Publications
Get published now.
- Write for the Scroll , BYU-Idaho's student newspaper.
- Submit to Outlet , the BYU-Idaho Art and Literary Journal.
- Submit to other publications that support student work. Online Journals such as Juxtaprose , started by graduates of the English program, is a great place to start.
Writing Groups
Get feedback on your writing. Start a writing group where you can read and evaluate each other's writing. Attend the Student Writing Retreat , an off-campus writing workshop lead by English Department faculty.
Every semester the BYU-Idaho English Department hosts literary readings where creative writers share their recent works and answer your questions. Past readings include Pulitzer Prize winning author Stephen Dunn and Anthony Doerr. See the Event Calendar for upcoming readings.
Take classes that enrich your writing skills and your content knowledge. Check out the advising page for recommended courses. Check out the advising page for recommended courses. Also, use your elective credits to support your writing goals. Want to write children's literature? Take a children's lit. class, and a child development course might be valuable too.
How Do I Get Published?
When you consider getting published, you should look at three options.
- A standalone work (e.g., a novel, a collection of poetry, a screenplay).
- A short entry in a magazine or journal
- A work in an anthology
To start a making a name for yourself, consider options 2 and 3 as a starting point. Find magazines and journals that best fit your literary genre and style. Research their publication guidelines. Join a writers' group and get feedback from other writers. Research how to write an excellent submission letter. Make sure that you submit your very best work.
As you enter the publishing world, do your research. Read blogs, read trade magazines, and most of all read excellent literature of all genres.
Join online communities to let you know more about the world of publishing. This list just illustrates a few of online sources out there:
- Writer's Digest
- Poets and Writers
- Publishing ... and Other Forums of Insanity
- LinkedIn resources such as 23 Poetry Publishers Accepting Unagented Manuscripts
- Small publishing houses such as Deam Big Publications .
Better yet. Contribute to an online magazine created by graduates from BYU-Idaho's English Department. Juxtaprose began as passionate BYU-Idaho English majors sought opportunities to share great literature.
How Do I Earn a Living
Creative writers work in a variety of fields. Until you become the next Brandon Sanderson or Anthony Doerr, you might consider a field that values your skills at narrative, concrete language, and creativity. A documentation supervisor at Microsoft once said, "I'd hire a poet any day. They understand imagery, brevity, and punctuation."
Creative writers make excellent copywriters, web content writers, and journalists. You understand that the story, more than information, engages readers. Learn more about professional writing career opportunities.

Graduate Programs

English (MA)

English Education (MA)

Creative Writing (MFA)
The English Department, as a part of the College of Humanities, offers graduate study devoted to the development of reading, writing, and thinking abilities derived from studying and producing literary and other texts in English. Students study these works in aesthetic, historical, religious, and other contexts, including the theoretical contexts the faculty members bring to the courses they teach. This program makes intensive use of the library and its resources.
The MA in English program enables students to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes that have application in contemporary society and that are in harmony with the principles of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. The program may appeal to students who plan to enter such careers as teaching, editing, and writing; to those who seek an advanced liberal arts degree for preparation in library science or public service; to those who plan to go on for a doctorate in English or a related area; and to those who wish to continue studies for personal satisfaction.
The MFA in Creative Writing likewise prepares students as scholars and creative writers for careers in teaching and writing. While the MFA in Creative Writing is widely considered a terminal degree, it can also qualify students interested in additional training for a Ph.D. in Creative Writing.
Each year, around 30 students are admitted to graduate study in our department, with approximately 20 students entering our MA in English program and approximately 10 entering our MFA in Creative Writing program. The average duration for both degree programs is two years.
Chair: Lance E. Larsen Graduate Coordinator: Paul Westover
Resources & Opportunity:
The Department of English utilizes the Office of Digital Humanities . This center is especially active in the production of teaching and research materials, particularly those that are computer related.
The Office for the Study of Christian Values in Literature was established in 1980 to affirm the importance of religious and moral values in the creation and study of imaginative literature. It provides both a focus for activity and an encouragement to teachers, writers, scholars, and readers who believe in a value-centered literary tradition.
The Writing Center is available to assist students and faculty in improving their writing skills. Graduate students benefit particularly from critical evaluations of drafts of seminar papers and theses, and those with advanced writing skills may serve as interns in the center.
Faculty research interests are included in the faculty section following the course descriptions.
For a more detailed description of the graduate program requirements, send for a copy of the department’s bulletin.
Financial Assistance:
Financial assistance is available for this program through the English Department and other agencies in the university. The English Department offers tuition awards for all first- and second-year students.
Admitted students are encouraged to apply for instructorships, teaching and research assistantships, editing internships, and other awards that are provided as a financial and learning resource. The university handles federal student loans.

The two-year Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Program supports 12 graduate students per year and strives to graduate working artists who will continue to demonstrate significant artistic, critical and cultural impacts across a wide array of disciplines. Incoming MFA students are expected to already be deeply engaged in their creative practice and possess technical proficiency in their chosen media. Graduate coursework and independent study are designed to help students develop a critical understanding of their creative work in the multiple contexts of specific localities and global contemporary art. Our graduate students are encouraged to take university-wide and cross-disciplinary courses linked to their research interests, studying and collaborating with faculty and graduate students in areas as diverse as Geography, Environmental Sciences, Classics, Art History, Disability Studies, Philosophy, Cognitive Science, Interactive Design, Rhetoric, Film Studies, and Comparative Literature.
The Program helps students develop a working relationship to audiences by facilitating the exposure of graduate student work through museums and galleries, public art, online, publications, and through other forms of engagement and dissemination. Peer-to-peer discussion and critique form the heart of Berkeleys MFA Program. Students respond to their peers work and learn to think, speak, and write critically about arts functions and possibilities. A Visiting Artist Lecture Series , along with studio visits, offers graduate students the chance to connect with internationally-known artists. Students also have opportunities to teach, and they are mentored and closely supported by a faculty member. Exhibitions in the first and second years of study require students to maintain a rigorous pace of creative research and establish a professional art practice. The final thesis exhibition, completed after the second year of study, is held at the Berkeley Art Museum.
