English: The Writer's Craft
“In our program, we like to say that our students are people who ‘live to write and write to live,’ which means that there is no distinction between our passion and our profession”
Dr. Dan Schmidt
Associate Professor of English

  • The Writer's Craft is the only graduate writing program in Northern California that allows students to customize their degree, combining the areas of Creative Writing, Professional Writing, and Teaching Writing.
  • Our workshops and seminars are offered in an evening, accelerated format, and some can be completed online.
  • The avenues for well-trained and talented writers and teachers are constantly evolving, and our program reflects these changes and provides exciting opportunities for our student writers.
