The Center for Writers is the creative writing program in the School of Humanities at The University of Southern Mississippi. Students work toward M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in English with emphases in fiction or poetry. We offer assistantships of  $18,000 at the PhD level and $14,000 at the MA level. The tone of the program is characterized by a playful rigor with workshops offered in fiction, poetry, and non-fiction by the program's distinguished faculty. Additional courses in craft, literary forms, and teaching creative writing are also offered regularly, and students participate in a regular reading series and in the publication of Product, a student-run publication. USM is also home to Mississippi Review, an award-winning literary journal publishing both established writers and new voices as well.

For questions about our creative writing program, please contact Dr. Olivia Clare Friedman, Director of the Center for Writers at olivia.clare.friedmanFREEMississippi.
