About the Writing Department We are professors of writing not only because we love to teach, but also because we love to write—and all of us pursue very active careers as practicing, and publishing, writers of poetry, stories, essays, articles, reviews, novels, plays, and more. If you’re interested in writing, you probably have a passion for working with words. And surely you know how exciting it is to move people with your own words—to make people feel what you feel, to help them see the world more vividly. You may be aware, too, that in the working world, everybody needs a writer: every business, every institution, every organization needs someone who can make sense of the world through the written word. According to research conducted by the National Commission on Writing, 91% of employers “‘almost always’ take writing into account when hiring” for professional positions. Our graduates have gone on to become lawyers, book editors, magazine editors, newsletter editors, public relations liaisons, publishers, teachers, grant-writers, journalists, Web masters, professors, feature writers, and more.
