Reed and Creative Writing

<p>Hey guys. So I was just accepted to Reed, and I would greatly appreciate any information any of you might be able to offer regarding Reed’s English and Creative Writing departments. Writing is one of my passions, and it’s absolutely something I want to further pursue in college. In terms of a career, I may even want to be a novelist or poet… I totally loved Reed when I visited back in September and I’m currently choosing between Reed and one another school right now, but I realized the other day that I didn’t really know very much about their english department. </p>

<p>Any information you guys could give would be wonderful! Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m interested in taking quite a few creative writing classes while at Reed, and I know they all require a writing sample “audition”. From the coursebook descriptions, it seems pretty focused on workshopping.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

Best Way to Write College Papers for a Creative Writing Degree

W riting a college paper should be less of a challenge if you're taking up a creative writing program. After all, the program is designed to nurture and train aspiring student writers to write literary pieces in different genres and often even includes writing workshop sessions. However, if you are a new student and not used to writing college papers, this guide has got you covered.

Getting started is one of the biggest challenges when writing. Unfortunately, college papers have deadlines. Therefore, you cannot sit back and wait for your creative juices to flow to begin with your work. In this situation, you can use a  thesis maker on the internet to generate ideas or outlines for your college paper for free. Laurie Smith, a content partnerships manager at MyStylus AI, highlights that certain advanced tools have the capability to generate complete papers. Some premium tools can even write an entire paper. 

Strategies for Writing College Papers for a Creative Writing Degree

A creative writing course involves a lot of writing, especially original literary pieces. Despite that, completing a college paper can still be challenging and stressful for some. There may not be restrictions common in academic, technical, and other forms of writing. However, you can still run out of ideas, feel incompetent, or lack time to meet the deadline.

This guide will provide you with valuable tips for writing better, including your college papers.

Read Tons of Materials and Take Notes

There's a reason why creative writing programs require students to read tons of material. You'll need inspiration to draw from, and reading will provide you with a wellspring of ideas. In thesis writing, you will need to include an introduction that discusses works that help shape the paper. 

So, get in the habit of reading if you haven’t already. 

Read different types of creative writing, from personal essays and short fiction to novels, graphic narratives, and memoirs. This is one way to gain knowledge and develop your writing skills. It will help you become familiar with grammar rules, sentence structures, and punctuation. You’ll learn new words, get ideas on how to start and end a story, and understand how different writers write.

But unless you have an eidetic memory, it could be challenging to remember everything you’ve read and learned. Hence, take notes of anything that captivates you and the inspirations you’ve gathered when reading any material. 

Find Inspiration in Unusual Places

Writing literary works requires observation, imagination, and the ability to express one’s thoughts with words. But sometimes, a writer can be trapped in a creative rut and run out of inspiration. Unfortunately, college papers have deadlines, and you have to find ways to refuel the fire. 

Reading is one of the effective ways to find inspiration. But if it does not work, do not worry because you can try many other ways. You can observe the world around you or pay attention to human interactions, nature, and anything around you. 

If that still does not work, consider spending time with yourself to reflect on your life journeys, your emotions, and questions you had in mind. Or you can engage in discussions with friends, listen to your loved one’s stories, or interview people with unique experiences. It also doesn’t hurt to venture beyond your comfort zone. For example, you can use  influencer marketing as your college paper topic .

Hook Readers at the Very Beginning

Writing an attention-grabbing opening is an oft-spouted tip in creative writing, and it’s for a reason. The beginning of creative writing sets the entire premise for the rest of the work. Hence, it is critical to make it enticing enough to convince your reader to continue reading the text.

You can grab readers' attention in many ways from the start. You can use vivid imagery, disrupt chronology, or pose thought-provoking questions. Your instructor or professor will probably have many papers to mark. Making yours interesting from the beginning will likely increase your teacher’s engagement.

Live Within Your Writing

Living amongst your writing is one of the secrets to success in writing a paper for your creative writing degree. This means knowing and understanding every minute detail that goes on within the world of your story. 

For instance, you may be writing a story about a prince on a quest to rescue a damsel in distress. If someone asked you what time the prince went to bed the previous night or what the princess ate for breakfast, you should be able to provide an answer.

Think About the Reader

Identifying your audience and thinking about them when you’re writing is important. It will help you determine the appropriate level of detail, the information to include and exclude, and the language type to use to hold their attention. And more importantly, you will end up writing for nobody if you try to write for everyone. 

If you are writing for a professor or instructor, make sure your paper is easy to read and interesting. Try a new structure or include arguments from lesser-known but relevant writers and thinkers that may spark your teacher’s interest.

Make Your College Paper Look Good

Proper formatting can be equally important as the content of your paper. So here are some pointers to make your formatting on point:

  • Use a proper heading. Some instructors are strict about having the proper heading, so ensure you do not forget it. 
  • Use the right font, size, and space. Most college papers use Times New Roman, 12-point font, and double-spaced because this formatting makes the paper easier to read. 
  • Mind your margins. Margins are easy to forget, so always double-check your paper before turning it in.

Edit Your Paper

Editing is arguably one of the most crucial steps in writing a college paper for a creative writing degree. Writing the perfect literature piece in your first draft is nearly impossible, so allocate time for editing.

When editing your work, be honest with yourself and determine what sections do not add value to your literary piece. Cutting out something you have spent time constructing with care can be difficult but necessary if you want the best outcome. 

Also, do not forget to proofread to ensure your grammar and spelling are impeccable. By making your paper error-free, you’re showing good attention to detail. Your paper should also flow smoothly from the beginning to the end. Make it coherent by using transitional expressions, repetition, and parallel structures, and by broadening your word choices.

Editing creative pieces can take a while, so leave enough time for editing and reviewing the draft. 

Let Someone Else Critique Your Work

It doesn’t have to be a professional creative writer or an expert in the same field. You can ask a trusted friend or family member who is unbiased to read through and sense-check the edited version of your paper. They can help you spot any sections that need improvement, sound nonsense, or have incorrect spelling or grammar. Make the changes immediately.

When asking someone to review your work, be open to constructive criticism and use the feedback to improve your college paper. 

Have Fun Writing Your College Paper

Creative writing is all about self-expression and originality, so above all, have fun writing your college paper. Relax and don’t get easily bogged down in the details, and remember that creative writing is supposed to be enjoyable.

Bennington College Curriculum Spring 2025

Spring 2025, fundamentals of creative writing (lit2566.01).

Creative writing is a method not just of expression, but of deep attention: thus we will begin our journey to the blank page by looking, with wonder and precision, at pages filled by such masters of craft as Cathy Park Hong, Robyn Schiff, Nathaniel Mackey, Ben Lerner, Miranda July, Mariana Enriquez, and Souvankham Thammavongsa. Our reading assignments, which will span poetry and prose of various aesthetic stripes (from “dirty” realist poetry to absurdist parable), will introduce a wide variety of topics and questions that will aid our own creative writing throughout the term. Such topics and questions will include: (A) What narrative strategies might we employ to enact a sense of individual pleasure? Or of collective dread?; (B) How can we be architects of surprise for a reader when we ourselves often know “how the story ends”?; (C) What is enjambment in poetry and can we leverage sentence structure to mimic it in prose?; (D) What is a sonnet and how do various practitioners of it leverage the form to different effect? Does a certain tone arise from its combination of pace, proportion, and volta?; (E) As a unit of perception and experience, how does the poetic line differ from the sentence? And how do they interact over the course of a stanza or an entire poem?; and (F) What is “vantage” and how does it relate to “point of view”? How might these terms apply not just to a story but also a poem in narrative or monologue form?

All of these questions, and others, will only fuel us as we respond creatively to our readings through in-class discussion, in-class craft exercises, occasional workshops, and take-home writing prompts. This is a generative course; therefore, participants will turn in an original piece of writing every week, whether that be a vignette or a villanelle.

About the Program

While pursuing a BA in Creative Writing, students study literary texts and then produce their own poetry or fiction. The creative writing student is an artist. This major is perfect for those who love to write poems or stories, and who plan to do so no matter what. In addition to the required five courses in poetry or fiction writing, students must take five courses in English Literature or English Language. While some creative writing students attend graduate school to hone their skills and develop their art, others practice their craft in commercial industries like marketing or publishing. Ultimately, creative writers learn many skills that employers find desirable.

The Bell Tower , an undergraduate-run magazine for the arts affiliated with Purdue University’s Department of English, was founded in 1995 and is published yearly.

Books and Coffee talks (hosted by the Department of English) are held several times throughout the school year. Coffee and tea are available, followed by a half-hour talk about a selected work. The series is popular with faculty, staff, and students.

World Language Courses

Critical Course

The ♦ course is considered critical.

In alignment with the Degree Map Guidance for Indiana’s Public Colleges and Universities, published by the Commission for Higher Education (pursuant to HEA 1348-2013), a Critical Course is identified as “one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Students who want to be nurses, for example, should know that they are expected to be proficient in courses like biology in order to be successful. These would be identified by the institutions for each degree program.”

The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements. Consultation with an advisor may result in an altered plan customized for an individual student. The myPurduePlan powered by DegreeWorks is the knowledge source for specific requirements and completion.

Coordinates of elektrostal in degrees and decimal minutes, utm coordinates of elektrostal, geographic coordinate systems.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
