Callaway Center

Emory’s Creative Writing program is one of the top creative writing programs in the country. Jericho Brown, the head of the department, won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2020 for his anthology The Tradition. Students in the Creative Writing program take a mix of workshops and English classes to pursue interests in poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, playwriting, and screenwriting. Students from all disciplines are able to take creative writing classes, and events such as readings, open mic nights, and featured authors are open to all Emory Students.

The Emory Writing Center is located within Callaway and is a great resource for Emory students. The Writing Center employs undergraduate and graduate students who are ready to help students at all writing levels and at all different stages of the composing process. Writing tutors are able to help you with anything from a brainstorm to a final draft through discussion and workshop-based tutorials. The Writing Center provides tutoring in all of the languages that Emory offers, so students are able to bring their papers from any class. No matter what your experience is with writing, the Writing Center is here to help.
