MFA Creative Writing students come to The New School from across the
United States and around the world to live the writer's life in New York
City. To study at The New School is to join a prestigious community of
writers who are experimenting and evolving together.
The Creative Writing program hosts one of New York City's preeminent
reading series, featuring forums with a diverse lineup of emerging and
established writers as well as partners including the National Book
Foundation, PEN America, National Book Critics Circle, The Best American
Poetry, The Story Prize, Cave Canem, and the Poetry Society of America. Students
also access exclusive evenings with agents and editors that provide informal
opportunities for students to connect with publishing professionals.
