  • Creative Writing

arts

Typically works of fiction, creative writing spans different genres and styles and can include short stories, novels, poetry, plays and scripts. Creative writing can be any type of written work that is not technical or analytical.

The skills you develop through practice and critique of your written work can prepare you for many career paths that require creativity and storytelling. In addition to writers, the literary and publishing industry needs people in business positions, such as agents, editors and marketers. 

Writing for publications, volunteering and getting involved with student groups that focus on fiction are important ways to gain experience. Start to build a portfolio of your written work — including related coursework and any of your work that has been published — so you are prepared to demonstrate your skills and accomplishments. 

Seeking out alumni who work in an area of interest to you is a great way to learn about their career journey and get advice. Conducting industry research to determine your target organizations and then reviewing postings on their websites is the best way to find opportunities for internships or full-time work.

Because this field spans multiple types of organizations and roles, there is not a single hiring process or timeline. Many organizations typically hire close to the start date for the position. Identifying organizations of interest and then checking their websites regularly or speaking to alumni who work there will offer insights into their specific recruiting cycles.

Writing lessons from my creative writing workshop.

This semester, I took my first fiction workshop in Princeton’s Creative Writing Program. I had taken two poetry courses in previous semesters and wanted to try something new. (Pro-tip: if you haven’t yet taken a CWR course, definitely consider applying for one before graduating).

Creative writing is, in many ways, a break from academic writing. It does not center on data, analysis, or argumentation. Instead, workshops focus on developing compelling images, characters, stories. Creative writing also has access to a wider variety of forms than academic writing, which tends to adhere to a narrow set of relatively conservative styles.

However, some of my workshop instructor’s writing advice has translated well to my academic writing. After all, writing is writing, and many of the same challenges confront both creative and academic writers. Below I’ve collected five of her best pieces of writing advice:

Post Princeton Life: Interview with Isabelle Laurenzi ’15

For this year’s Spring Seasonal Series, entitled Post-Princeton Life: The Experiences of  PCUR Alumni, each correspondent has selected a PCUR alum to interview about what they have been up to. We hope that these interviews will provide helpful insight into the many different paths Princeton students take after graduation. Here, Raya shares her interview.

Teaching, travel, Congress, the Writing Center, political theory, Yale! Former PCUR chief correspondent Isabelle Laurenzi graduated from Princeton in 2015 with a degree in Religion. She has since gone on to pursue an array of adventures and projects. Most recently, Isabelle completed her first year of a Ph.D. program at Yale in political theory. For our seasonal spring series, I caught up with Isabelle to learn more about her time at Princeton and explorations after. In our conversation, Isabelle and I connected over our shared interest in interdisciplinary studies and the joy of pursuing one’s interests through varied avenues.

Writing for Fun? (Part 2): Journalism and Academic Writing

In my last post, I started an exploration of writing on campus to understand how students approach the writing process outside the classroom in their own work and in extracurriculars. In that post, I considered creative writing and the ways academic writing can present a similar opportunity for expression and creativity.

princeton creative writing undergraduate

In this post, I interview Sam Shapiro ’21 who is a Features Editor and writer for the Daily Princetonian. In my interview with Sam, we discussed the differences and similarities between journalism and academic writing and how to bring the thrill one feels when chasing a story for a publication to a term paper in class.

Writing for Fun? Part 1: Creativity and Academic Writing

We are constantly writing––composing emails, blackboard posts, essays, and dean’s date papers. In this two-part series, I am interested in understanding the different forms of writing students explore on campus. Specifically, I interview students who write for campus publications to see how they approach the writing process in their extracurriculars.

In this post, I Interview Serena Alagappan ’20, the Editor-in-Chief and a writer for Nassau Weekly. Serena is a comparative literature major who, for three years now, has shared poetry, cultural critiques, profiles, and fiction through the Nass. In my interview with Serena, we discuss creative writing and the connection she has experienced between her academic and personal writing. Serena encourages students to explore writing through the Creative Writing program and shares advice on how students can carry over the freedom and expression of creative writing into more formal and rigid academic subjects.

Unconventional Research: World Building in Creative Writing

When one thinks about research, there are certain images that come to mind: a student hunched over an old book in an empty library, or a solitary scientist in a lab coat mixing chemicals or observing animals. Emily McLean ’20 has done her fair share of the first type, as a potential Anthropology major with a strong interest in American History.

Emily is also my suitemate, and one day I heard her talking about an unfamiliar, unexpected genre of research: the research required for successful world building–the creation of a believable reality–in creative writing. Continue reading Unconventional Research: World Building in Creative Writing

Writing a Creative Thesis: An Interview with Edric Huang ’18

princeton creative writing undergraduate

A couple of weeks ago, I interviewed Kristin Hauge about her independent work in the Music Department to highlight creative independent work in the arts. This week, I got in touch with Edric Huang, a senior in the Anthropology Department with certificates in Urban Studies and Creative Writing. Unlike most students on campus, he will be writing two theses this year. One is the classic research-based thesis that seniors in the sciences and humanities are familiar with, but the second will be a collection of poems for his Creative Writing Certificate. If you are unfamiliar with the kind of work that goes into creative theses, here’s what Edric had to share about his personal experience: Continue reading Writing a Creative Thesis: An Interview with Edric Huang ’18

Celebrating Senior Theses: An Interview with Claire Ashmead ‘17

In our spring series,  Senior Theses: A Celebration , we take a moment in the interlude between thesis deadlines and graduation to appreciate the diverse, personal, and impactful work of seniors’ capstone research projects.

Claire Ashmead completed two theses this spring: for her History concentration, a comparative study of McCarthyism and the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and, for her Creative Writing certificate, a novella entitled The Camel-Hair Coat . Here she reflects on writing and revising, family and loss, and the completion of her first book.  

What is your novella, The Camel-Hair Coat, about? It follows a girl, Daphne, who, four years ago, under mysterious circumstances, lost her mother in a terrible accident. Her intense grief over her mother’s death and profound yearning to know why her mother was taken away from her summons the ghost of her mother back from the dead. Daphne is faced with this choice: she can bring her mother back to reality, which she has wanted more desperately than she’s ever wanted anything before, but with terrible consequences for the rest of her family – her sister and grandmother. The price of bringing somebody back might be the exchange of other people you love, and even yourself. But if you really miss somebody – what wouldn’t you do?

How would you distill the book’s themes into a few words? Grief, wishes, and growing up.

What was the hardest part of writing the book? How much I had to revise. The book underwent a dramatic transformation, in part because I had two advisers: Joyce Carol Oates in the fall and then Jeffrey Eugenides in the spring. They’re completely different writers, which for me I think ended up being great: Joyce Carol Oates really tries to pull your creativity out of you, and she encouraged me to envision an alternative reality that ended up being a little confusing. Jeffrey Eugenides, on the other hand, is a very linear storyteller. When I gave him my draft, he told me he didn’t really understand what was going on, and that I needed to rewrite.

It was February, and I was hearing from my adviser that the 140 pages I’d generated needed to go. But in another sense that actually felt great.

At first that was very scary. It was February, and I was hearing from my adviser that the 140 pages I’d generated needed to go. But in another sense that actually felt great. I’d had the sneaking suspicion that the story needed a major change, and I wasn’t sure in what way. So I decided to structure it like a four-act play, where each act takes place in one day of one season. Once I had that structure, it was like, bingo! I know how this is going to develop.

In the second writing, I only kept maybe 3% of the words I’d previously written. But because I’d already created the spaces and characters in my head, writing the story the second time around actually took almost no effort, and required much less editing.

How did you juggle writing two separate theses? It was all about time management. I also really believe that just getting words on a page is so crucial. Often people feel like writing needs to be perfect when it comes out onto the page. My experience writing for Princeton Triangle Club has taught me that actually the hardest part is just starting, and as soon as you begin to write, your thoughts become clearer.

Also, the processes of the two theses were very different, which was helpful – if they were the same it probably would’ve been much more difficult for me to do the two. For my creative thesis, I wrote almost every day. With creative writing, I want to explore characters and change dialogue, so the earlier I get it out, the better. In history, it’s a very different beast: I like getting all of my secondary source reading and research done, getting it all into my head, and then putting it out onto the page. I would research for months and months, and then sit down and write a chapter in a day or two.

Describe your happy place as a writer. I have a two-room single in Edwards, so I have a room with my bed, and then another with a desk, facing the window. I wake up early, at 6 or 7 a.m., and would either go for a run or just go get coffee at Rojo’s, and then come to my desk in my little monastic sanctuary and write.

The first time I write something, I write in pen, by hand, on blank sheets of unlined paper. The great thing about writing by hand is that it’s physically exhausting, so you only say what you need to say, and the words you pick are more exact and intentional.

I’d sit down and write for about an hour and a half every morning, which would be about five double-spaced typed pages, sometimes more. The first sentence can sometimes be difficult, but as you start writing, you reenter the world. It’s like learning to ride a bike: you remember it, and you just push forward on the momentum of describing the scene.

The first sentence can sometimes be difficult, but as you start writing, you reenter the world. It’s like learning to ride a bike: you remember it, and you just push forward on the momentum of describing the scene.

Do you have a favorite section of the book? A lot of the book was plot that I just had to get through, and then there were a few scenes that made me feel that they were exactly why I wrote the book. Here are two paragraphs, after Daphne’s mother has come back and she is able to speak with her mother again.

Her mother took her hands. “At least you’ll have your father to walk you down the aisle. Mine was gone by the time I was your age. I missed him so much.”

“What’s it like?” Daphne asked. “Missing somebody?”

“You know, I’ve never thought about it.” Her mother frowned. “I’d say missing somebody is like remembering to pick up milk at the grocery store. Most of the time, you don’t think about it at all. And then all of a sudden the thought will just occur to you. I’ve got to pick up milk at the grocery store. And the thought will occur to you once a week, every month, every year, for forever. I’ve got to pick up milk at the grocery store. There, that’s it. I think about my father every day.”

If you’d like to read more of The Camel-Hair Coat, you can find it archived – with all senior theses – on the senior thesis digital archive , where it will be available starting after graduation on June 6 th , 2017.

The Imp Walks in the Door: Creativity in the Research Process

Staring at my computer screen, I blink. The black cursor, a vertical slit of a pupil, blinks back.

princeton creative writing undergraduate

Uh-oh. I am trying to write the first essay for my environmental nonfiction class. But, sitting down to write, I can already feel the despondent haze of writer’s block descending. I swivel in my chair. I check my email but have no new messages. I type fdsajkl; on the first line of the page, and then delete it. What’s wrong with me? I think. Am I a writer or not?

A writer’s window: How poetry is changing how I see the world

In honor of National Poetry Month, my professor, Marie Howe, suggested writing a poem every day for the month of April. “Who’s up for it?” she asked our Advanced Poetry class . “It can be just a few lines. I’ll do it if you do it.”

My bedroom windowsill - which, this April, has become my bedroom poetry windowsill.

I decided to write a poem right when I wake up each morning – figuring this is the only way I’d consistently get it done – and to forego my computer (and its associated, infinite distractions) in favor of a pencil and notebook. Every morning, I roll out of bed, perch myself on the wide windowsill of my ground-floor room, and write a poem.

I was shocked by how easily I could reshape my early-morning habits, and how much doing so affected the rest of my day. With this new routine has come a kind of freedom: my first thought of the day is no longer my calendar or breakfast or to-do list, but something creative and unlimited. I bring this creative lens with me through the rest of the day: watching milk gush over my cereal, stepping out into the April air, listening to a lecture about respiration across the animal kingdom.

Undergraduate Announcement 2023 - 2024

General information, program offerings:, program offerings.

In the Department of English , students read widely across the genres and periods of British, American and Anglophone literature and explore approaches to literary study with a distinguished, internationally renowned faculty. The department's ranks include historicists and formalists, theorists and poets, and postcolonialists and feminists; the faculty teach not only poetry, prose and drama, but film, music, art, architecture and technology. The department is united by a passion for works of the imagination and for thinking about what they mean and the difference they make in the world.

The department offers courses that cover more than two millennia of literature and culture, in settings ranging from large lectures to small seminars to one-on-one advising. A typical program of study embraces new and experimental writing, important rediscoveries and the most hallowed texts of the Western literary tradition, the "news that stays news." The department cultivates a common critical vocabulary and joins in debating enduring questions about art, language and society. The junior year begins with a diverse array of junior seminars, which couple the study of a specific subject with methodological training in critical reading and writing. Juniors and seniors pursue independent work on subjects of their choosing in collaboration with the faculty. The department also encourages majors who wish to pursue interdisciplinary work through certificate programs and minors.

English majors graduate as incisive readers, cogent thinkers and persuasive writers. They carry with them a lasting ability to take informed pleasure in all forms of literature, in the process of writing and in the meanings and powers of culture. Graduates go on to become leaders in such fields as education, law, medicine, journalism, business, politics and the creative arts. Simply put, learning to read closely and write fluently — the twin pillars of the discipline — are among the most valuable skills graduates can bring to the world's work.

Goals for Student Learning

Courses in the Department of English enable students to develop crucial transferable skills, including:

  • Analytical, critical and interpretive skills — students develop these faculties through close attention to the structures of arguments, specific aspects of language and expression, and conceptual synthesis.
  • Excellent writing — students develop the ability to communicate in clear, efficient and elegant prose, and to write deliberately with a specific audience in mind.
  • The ability to read closely and carefully, to attend to historical, rhetorical and grammatical aspects of English.
  • Attention to translation — many students work with texts in other languages, comparing them with their English translations, to comprehend how English relates, stylistically and historically, to materials in other languages.
  • Research skills that will enrich and improve these reading and writing skills — for instance, students acquire tools and methods for archival research, to understand the history of books and book production, how to read data and various modes of expression and interpretation, and the histories of aesthetics and literary criticism.
  • The ability to understand, engage and assess relevant critical work (secondary sources that comprise the discipline or interdisciplinary fields like American studies, African American studies, Asian American studies, etc.).
  • The exercise of these skills with an understanding of historical developments of English-language literatures, demonstrating an ability to situate a text, movement or style in relation to broader aspects of period or genre.
  • The exercise of these skills with an understanding of how particular English-language literatures and theories address, and are implicated in, historical operations of power and empire.
  • The ability to propose a subject for sustained research, analysis or critical interpretation, and to see the project to effective completion.
  • The ability to recognize, use and assess a variety of critical and theoretical perspectives.

In sum: students develop the ability to compose thoughtful, cogent, compelling and deliberate analytical writing, supported by careful consideration of evidence and informed by a comprehensive understanding of how language is implicated in questions of history, culture, aesthetic value and power.

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisite courses for the major in English, but prospective majors should take at least one course in English in the first and second years.

Program of Study

English majors must take a total of 10 courses: the Junior Seminar (ENG 300), one designated course in Literary and Cultural History (LCH), and eight departmental courses. The junior seminar is a topical introduction to research methods in the discipline and prepares students for their independent work. Literary and Cultural History (LCH) courses ask questions about tradition and transmission over longer periods, and provide background for more specialized study. 

Distribution Requirements

Departmental distribution requirements ensure breadth in each major's program of study. Everyone must take at least one course in each of the following areas:

  • Literary and Cultural History (LCH)
  • Literature and Culture before 1700 (pre-1700)
  • Literature and Culture from 1700–1900 (1700–1900)
  • Literature and Culture from 1900–present (post-1900)
  • Difference and Diversity (D&D)
  • Theory and Criticism (T&C)

Each semester, the department offers a wide variety of courses in each distribution area, and a full list is available on the department website. A single course cannot be used to satisfy two distribution requirements simultaneously. In total: There are six required distributions, plus the junior seminar (ENG 300), plus three additional English courses, for the 10 required courses for the major.

A few rules regarding departmental courses:

  • Majors may not take English courses on a pass/D/fail (P/D/F) basis. This includes cross-listed courses, even if English is not the home department.
  • Students who study abroad may count up to two courses taken abroad as departmental courses. The exception to this is the English department's UCL semester: students may count two classes plus the Princeton seminar.
  • Cross-listed courses do not count against the Rule of 12 as long as the home department is not English.

The Rule of 12 . A student in the A.B. program is limited to 12 one-term courses (plus independent work) in a given department, plus up to two departmental prerequisites taken during the first year or sophomore year. Students who exceed the 31-course requirement for graduation may exceed the Rule of 12 by as many courses (e.g., if you take 32 courses total, you can exceed the rule of 12 by one course). For most English majors, this means only 12 courses primarily designated as English courses (ENG courses or cross-listed courses where ENG comes first—e.g., ENG 327/GSS 332). Departmental cognates do not count against the Rule of 12.

Departmental Tracks

Tracks and certificate programs.

Tracks in Creative Writing and Theater. The English department has many majors with a strong interest in creative writing and theater, and offers special programs for students pursuing certificates in those closely related subjects.

  • Creative Writing: Students accepted to the certificate program in creative writing may cognate two CWR courses as departmental courses in English and may substitute a thesis in CWR for the thesis in English.

Theater: Students accepted to the certificate program in theater may cognate two THR courses as departmental courses in English.

Certificate Programs. English encourages students with interdisciplinary interests to bring them to the department, and to pursue connections with literary and cultural studies. Students who will receive a certificate in another discipline, and who can show (in their coursework or independent work) vital connections with their studies in English, may count one course in that discipline toward their studies in English, by permission of the director of undergraduate studies.

Independent Work

The junior seminar (eng 300).

The JRS is a required introduction to the methods of research and the arts of criticism that must be taken in the fall of junior year. During the sophomore sign-ins, students are placed into one of four seminars at Princeton. The junior seminar instructor advises each member of the seminar on class selection for the spring.

The completed junior paper takes the form of one 20–30-page JP, which is begun in conjunction with the junior seminar and which students complete in the spring semester, continuing the advising established during the junior seminar for the student's independent work.

The Senior Thesis

Theses are 60–75 pages in length, on a topic chosen in collaboration with the thesis adviser. One chapter or 20 pages of the thesis is due in December.

Senior Departmental Examination

All English majors take the senior departmental examination , which is explained in further detail here.

Honors are decided by each cohort and not a set number. Honors in English are computed at graduation according to the following percentages:

  • Departmental courses (excluding the junior seminar): 50%
  • Thesis: 25%
  • Junior Independent Work: 7.5% junior paper; 7.5% junior seminar
  • Senior Oral Exam and Reflection Paper: 10% (7.5% for the exam, 2.5% for the reflection paper)

Note that in English, it is not permissible to drop the lowest-graded departmental course from your average; all departmental courses are counted.

Study Abroad

The department encourages students to consider studying abroad. We especially invite students to consider the department's term at University College London. There, students attend a special LCH seminar with a Princeton English professor and receive support for independent work, while also attending courses taught through the University of London.

Courses taken abroad may, with approval, receive both departmental and distribution credit (in general, the department can accept two courses for study abroad). Students considering study abroad should consult the director of undergraduate studies at an early stage.

In the Department of English, students are trained to read critically and to attend to the imbricated histories of language, literature, culture and power. Students read widely across genres and periods of British, American and Anglophone literature as well as across a variety of critical and theoretical approaches. In addition to lectures and seminars devoted to poetry, prose and drama, English offers courses on cinema, photography, architecture, the public essay, and data and culture, among other media and topics. We encourage students to think across disciplines and languages, and we offer vital skills and resources that support independent research.

An English minor serves Princeton undergraduates from all majors, sharpening thinking and writing in ways that support work in their respective concentrations. English courses foreground language, style and rhetoric; they train students’ attention to effective writing as well as to a variety of analytical, critical and interpretive modes. In English courses, students pay close attention to the structures of arguments, to specific aspects of language and expression, to the history of literature in English, and to the cultural and grammatical aspects of the language. English courses also foreground the historical operations of language and power, affording students invaluable resources not only for addressing the inequities and disparities that shape our world but also for imagining the futures that can reinvent that world.

There are no specific prerequisite courses for the minor in English, but prospective minors are encouraged to take at least one course in English during their first or second year.

Admission to the Program

The Department of English will hold an “open enrollment” period every spring for prospective minors. While students are encouraged to declare in their sophomore year, to take advantage of departmental guidance and the potential “clusters” curated by faculty, they may declare a minor any time before the beginning of their junior spring. A student might join the minor after that, but only with the support of the DUS and their residential college dean, and after having a detailed conversation about advising and guidelines.

English courses taken prior to the formal declaration of the minor may be counted retroactively.

English minors must take five courses, at least two of which are seminars. Just as there are no prerequisites, there are also no required courses for the minor. As detailed above, the department will offer suggestions as to possible clusters, but we will also invite students to chart their own paths and propose a new cluster.

Minors are required to complete a reflection paper after completing the requirements for the minor. For this reflection paper, students are tasked with describing their paths through the minor and outlining the knowledge and skills they’ve acquired across their English courses.

Students may submit their reflection papers at any time after they’ve completed the course requirements for the minor, but no later than March of their senior spring. The reflection paper, submitted to the director of the English Minor and read by members of our Committee on Departmental Studies, is the equivalent, for minors, of the Senior Departmental Exam our graduating majors must take, which also includes (as one component) a reflection paper.

Additional Information

No more than one elected pass/D/fail course may be counted toward the requirements for the minor.

Students are not able to count courses taken to fulfill the requirements of their concentration toward the requirements for the minor (i.e., no double-counting).

Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication (PTIC)

Creative writing (literary translation) (la).

Students will choose, early in the semester, one author to focus on in fiction, poetry, or drama, with the goal of arriving at a 10-15 page sample, with commentary, of the author's work. All work will be translated into English and discussed in a workshop format. Weekly readings will focus on the comparison of pre-existing translations as well as commentaries on the art and practice of literary translation.

Films by 9 Princeton Students Win Awards at 50th Annual New Jersey Young Filmmakers’ Festival

Current visual art students and recent graduates awarded for film work in animation, documentary, experimental, and narrative genres

Nine Princeton undergraduate filmmakers have earned awards at the 50th Annual New Jersey Young Filmmakers’ Festival, nearly half of the 25 films awarded, and will screen their work at the festival premiere screening on June 15.

All nine of the Princeton filmmakers are either current students or recent graduates who have studied in the Program in Visual Arts. Allen Delgado ’23, Miriam Beams ’24 and Lana Glisic ’24, all recent graduates with certificates in the Program in Visual Arts, earned Jury’s Citation Awards for their films. Recent graduate and Practice of Art major Magnolia Wilkinson ’24 received a Jury’s Stellar Award for her experimental film, and Practice of Art major Paige Morton ’25 won a Jury’s Stellar Award for her short documentary film. Three undergraduate students taking animation courses were recognized for their exceptional work in the genre, including Tyler Benson ’24 with a Jury’s Stellar Award, Austria Merritt ’26 with a Jury’s Citation Award, and Minh Truong ’27 with a Director’s Choice Award. Jae-Kyung Sim ’24 won a Director’s Choice Award for his narrative film.

Several of the films screened last month in a series of events hosted by the Program in Visual Arts to showcase work by film students, including the annual Junior + Senior Film Festival and a screening of new work created in spring semester courses in digital animation, narrative filmmaking, and documentary filmmaking.

Founded in 1974, the New Jersey Young Filmmakers’ Festival (NJYFF) is a project of the Thomas A. Edison Media Arts Consortium. The festival’s purpose is to recognize, celebrate, and encourage emerging young talent in New Jersey, the state in which Thomas Edison first developed the motion picture. To be eligible, students ages 12-26 must either live in or attend school in New Jersey. NJYFF gives students the opportunity to submit their films to a highly respected and long-running film festival and have their work evaluated by prominent representatives in the field of film and media.

The full program, which includes all 25 award-winning student films, will be presented at the festival premiere screening at the Barrymore Film Center theater in Fort Lee, New Jersey.

Western Colorado University Graduate Program in Creative Writing Announces New Screenwriting Director

Man writing on piece of paper.

Western Colorado University’s Graduate Program in Creative Writing (GPCW) is excited to announce the hiring of veteran screenwriter James Napoli as the program’s new Screenwriting Director.

Headshot of James Napoli.

In his role as a professional story analyst for Los Angeles production companies, Napoli has read and evaluated nearly a thousand works for the screen. His screenplay Nick & Vin was a top ten percent finisher in the Academy Nicholl Fellowships, and he is currently developing an original one-hour television pilot project, Nightside .

He has optioned three original screenplays and has written and directed the festival award-winning dramatic short films The Priests and Nobody Gets Hurt . He co-created and co-hosted the cinema-themed podcast Movies Not Movies, and, as Head Writer for the Sirius/XM audio drama program New Frequency , he created over fifty original plays in every genre.

Napoli’s scholarly work includes contributions to The Handbook of Script Development (Palgrave Macmillan), Perform: Succeeding as a Creative Professional (Focal Press), and Routledge Research in Higher Education’s Globally Networked Teaching in the Humanities: Theories and Practices . For many years, he also contributed articles on screenplay craft to Creative Screenwriting Magazine .

“I am delighted to take on this new role as part of a remarkable program that nurtures artistry and develops the unique, individual voices writers will need to stand out in their professions,” Napoli said. “I cannot imagine a community of students and colleagues that could be more wonderfully aligned with my approach to screenwriting, teaching, learning and life.”

The GPCW is thrilled to welcome Napoli into the program and enthusiastic about how his leadership will help grow the Screenwriting concentration. CMarie Fuhrman, Associate Director of the GPCW and Chair of the Screenwriting Director Search Committee, said, “James’s eagerness, congeniality, approachability, and industry and craft knowledge, coupled with his desire to find a home for his career and passion, make us confident that he will build the Screenwriting program to nationwide visibility and be a valuable and wonderful teacher and colleague.”

For more information about Western’s graduate-level screenwriting program, contact GPCW Program Support Coordinator Sarah Goettsch at [email protected] .

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.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Keywords: Tuva, Early Iron Age, early Scythian period, Aldy-Bel culture, barrow, burial in the coffin, mummy, full genome sequencing, aDNA
