The kind of student experience writers dream about
Epic facilities. Exciting visiting authors. Talented peers. A faculty of practicing writers. SCAD offers every avenue of artistic inspiration to students in the writing department. The only thing we're missing? You.
All the room to write
In the halls of SCAD Atlanta and 88,000-square-foot Arnold Hall at SCAD Savannah, SCAD writers plot their way to publishing success. Students can attend intimate literary salons to gain valuable insight, visit recording booths and screenwriting workshops, or simply find a quiet spot to read and write.
Gain experience through literary journals
SCAD students benefit from numerous opportunities to write for and work on student literary journals. Artemis is the creative writing undergraduate journal open to students in all majors. Document is the literary journal featuring SCAD graduate student work, and SCAN is SCAD Atlanta's quarterly student magazine, featuring student-related news selected, reviewed, and developed by student editors.
