Natalie Harris class
 

The Creative Writing program at Colby offers students the opportunity to exercise their imaginations through disciplined work in the craft of writing.  Staffed by dedicated, practicing, published writers committed to teaching creative writing as a craft and an art and to teaching technique as a way of seeing as well as a way of saying, it welcomes the novice writer as well as more advanced students.  For more detailed information about the program, please click here.
