Creative Writing Club

Spring 2012

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.

During the regular academic year, the Creative Writing Club meets on Fridays from 2-3 in T208. 

If you have any questions about the club, please contact Tracy Youngblom at Tracy Youngblom (Turner)@anokaramsey.edu or (763) 433-1604.

Annual Writing About Art: Firing the Imagination Contest

Each spring, the Coon Rapids Campus of Anoka-Ramsey hosts its Writing About Art: Firing the Imagination Contest.   

Winning submissions are published in the Rapids Review, and those writers are invited to read their winning entries at the Spring Poetry Reading in April.

The deadline for submissions typically in March.  Details will be posted as they arrive.

Once the contest is underway, ARCC students are invited to submit poems or short essays (max 500 words) based on observations of one or more campus works of art.
