Creative Writing Club

Fall 2011

The Creative Writing Club offers students an opportunity to workshop creative writing with other students, explore their craft through writing exercises, attend poetry and fiction readings, read their work publicly, organize the spring reading, and work on the editing and publication of the Rapids Review.  The club's atmosphere is that of a relaxed, friendly group of writers. All students who would like to share and workshop their writing are invited to attend the Creative Writing Club's meetings.

This semester, the Creative Writing Club meets on Mondays at 2 p.m. in SC-177 (the offices of Salmagundi).

If you have any questions about the club, please contact Richard Broderick at Richard.broderick@anokaramsey.edu or (763) 433-1363.
