The Creative Writing Club offers students the opportunity to connect with other writers and to have their work published and is welcoming all new members.
Michele Walsky, a Professional Writing major, is the president of the club. She joined the club last fall, after taking a creative writing course with Professor Michelle Valois. Walsky says the class inspired her because it focused on “the love of words, not so much the organization. It was about breaking the rules, and it was very freeing.” Walsky has since completed and published a novel.
According to Walsky, the Creative Writing Club is responsible for publishing the annual Literary Arts Journal, A Certain Slant, every spring. The journal features works of prose, poetry, and artwork created by students. Individuals from all majors are invited to submit their work by contacting Professor Valois, the club’s faculty advisor.
In addition to publishing the literary journal, Walsky says the club hosts open mic nights twice yearly, in winter and spring. Specific date and time information will be announced later this semester.
