University of Utah

Utah, united states.

The University of Utah offers a vibrant and highly successful program exploring creative writing, committed on all levels to developing well-rounded practitioners with substantial backgrounds in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, digital writing practices, hybrid and other experimental forms, book arts, and literary history and theory.

Our program hosts a dynamic reading series and opportunities for interaction with visiting authors and scholars. Undergraduates are introduced to a variety of writing lives through small workshops and intensive focus on their work, while studying the larger ecology of contemporary publishing. In our graduate program, home to Quarterly West and Western Humanities Review, students intensify and deepen their investigation. We offer a modular MFA in Environmental Humanities, the American West, or Book Arts. Many graduates in our PhD Program, which Atlantic Monthly rated as among the top five in the country, publish widely in literary journals, place books before or soon after completing the program, win national and international awards, oversee and participate in a graduate reading series, and go on to find good academic positions.

Our renowned and aesthetically diverse faculty, whose honors include Guggenheim and NEA fellowships, Pushcart Prizes, the Berlin Prize, and other prestigious recognition of their creative work, scholarship, and teaching, includes Katharine Coles, Michael Mejia, Lance Olsen, Jacqueline Osherow, Paisley Rekdal, and Lindsey Drager.

Our students have published in national literary magazines and journals, and recent work has won the AWP Award in Poetry, the Yale Younger Poets Prize, National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, the PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award, the Flannery O'Connor Award, the Walt Whitman Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award among many other prizes and achievements.

All PhD students, and many of our MFA students, receive a comprehensive support package, and gain valuable teaching training and experience over the course of their degree. For more information about the program, faculty, past and present reading series, and available graduate student funding and fellowships, please visit our website.

Recently written up by the ATLANTIC MONTHLY as "one of the top five PhD in Creative Writing programs in the country," the University of Utah Creative Writing Program offers MFA and PhD degrees in a lively and vibrant intellectual atmosphere. By contrast with many similar departments, students in our graduate program are not segregated by field or degree and can take the same courses together. Students also benefit from a diverse and intellectually rigorous course of study. Students at all levels can participate in editing two national literary magazines, QUARTERLY WEST and WESTERN HUMANITIES REVIEW, as well as work on the internationally renowned independent press FC2. The Program's Guest Writers Series brings in nationally renowned poets and writers, such as Robert Hass, Michael Cunningham, Percival Everett, Cole Swenson, A. Van Jordan, Ben Marcus and JoAnn Beard, while the graduate students run their own popular reading series, The Working Dog.

University Writing Center

College of humanities, main navigation.

The University Writing Center (UWC) is a teaching space committed to helping students develop as writers. We believe that writers at all levels benefit from sharing their writing with knowledgeable, engaged readers.  Since the goal of tutoring is to grow one’s independence – and because students always maintain agency over their own work – our tutors will not copyedit or write papers for their clients. Instead, our tutors will be active listeners and readers; they will offer thoughtful suggestions and ask clarifying questions, help their clients to make effective rhetorical choices, and encourage them throughout their writing process – from brainstorming and outlining to drafting, revising, and editing. The UWC welcomes all currently-enrolled University of Utah students - including transfer students - and offers free, one-to-one consultations in person and online.

AI Writing Tools

The introduction of new communication technologies often generates and increases anxiety. When composing on computers was introduced, people continued to worry about the new tools of writing. Spell check, Grammarly, email, and computers in the classroom, for example, were criticized for taking away people’s ability to spell, remember grammar lessons, or focus in class. Now we consider not just writing, but all of these tools to be helpful if not necessary ways of interacting with language and each other. When people learn to use writing and its tools effectively, writing becomes a powerful instrument for composition and for learning. Consistently focusing on invention strategies, drafting, and revision will complicate students' interactions with such tools as ChatGPT and help them learn how and when to use them. We understand the campus community’s concerns about the misuse and abuse of AI tools, and we pledge to work with our colleagues to address them. However, we recognize the opportunity that these new tools offer in terms of teaching and learning. 

Goals and Values

The Department of Writing and Rhetoric Studies reaffirms that teaching writing in all its modalities means engaging students in the writing process by helping them see writing as invention, as intervention, as transformation—in a word, as learning. We teach students not just how to write, but when to write, for what audience, with what purpose, and yes, with which tools. We teach students to consider genre, audience, and purpose and to respect the social and linguistic diversity embedded and circulated in our own department and across the curriculum. We see writing as an integral part of student success in all university contexts and classes that teach and require written texts. Learning to write requires the development of critical tools that help students problematize the structures and the force of writing itself. We teach students how to critically engage with the tools of writing, such as ChatGPT, and their social and pragmatic implications. The Department of Writing and Rhetoric Studies at the University of Utah creates a space for students to gain facility with writing technologies while they learn to understand the implications, promise, power, and responsibility of using such tools.

How to Become a Writer in Utah with a BFA, MFA or Similar Creative Writing Degree

Written by Jennifer Williams

Utah’s formal American literary culture is young, first introduced with the arrival of the Mormons in 1847 . The influence of Mormon culture was strong and became instrumental in the development of Utah’s early social structure, giving many the solace of an insular society, and perhaps just as many others something worth pushing back against.

From then on, at least until the onset of modern literature, writings here were described as either “insider” (intended for a Mormon audience) or “observer” (intended for Utah’s larger society). Popular writings by non-Mormon authors were generally nothing complex, primarily letters and political speeches, but continued to evolve into the modern era. In fact, the first novel by a Utah author didn’t appear until 1909.

Utah’s literary history may be tinged with religious influence, but as its literary culture has evolved, from it, some of America’s most talented literary icons have been borne.

Utah’s Literary Roots Run in Wildly Different Direction

Susa Young Gates was an incredibly influential writer and activist in her time. Born in Salt Lake City, her mother was the 22 nd wife of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) Church president, Brigham Young, whom she would later go on to biograph and defend. She started her writing career penning short stories and nonfiction pieces under the pen name “Homespun”. Gates believed deeply in causes like women’s rights and education and felt that writing was the best way for her to contribute. As her writing gained notice and her reach became more widespread, she had the incredible opportunity to converse with literary greats like Leo Tolstoy as well as to collaborate with women’s activists like Susan B. Anthony. All in all, these influences led her to accomplish a series of firsts – the first Utah author to publish a novel, John Stevens’ Courtship : A Story of the Echo Canyon War ; and founding the American West’s first college paper, College Lantern. Today, she’s remembered as one of Utah’s most influential women.

Wallace Thurman was born in Salt Lake City and grew up in a single-parent home. Thurman and his mother moved around a lot but always ended up back in Salt Lake City living with his grandmother, who ran a saloon and sold liquor without a license. His childhood was tumultuous and plagued by illness. As a teenager, he suffered several heart attacks and even fell ill during the 1918 influenza epidemic. Despite all of this, he finished school and went on to attend college in California, where he started working as a reporter and made a name for himself as a writer. Shortly thereafter, he moved to New York, where he worked as an editor for Messenger and published famous names like Langston Hughes. Thurman came to be a prominent literary figure in black artistic circles for ideas that often ran counter to well-known racial-equality writers like W.E.B DuBois. His ideas were loudly presented in his most famous work, The Blacker the Berry – a book about the realities of racial prejudice within the African American community. Nearly a century later, it remains one of the most controversial and widely read works of the Harlem Renaissance.

Today, large cities like Ogden and Salt Lake City are hubs of literary activity and booming with opportunity for fresh talent. If you’re interested in becoming a writer in Utah, getting involved with your local writing community is a good place to start. In the end, though, a successful writing career will most likely follow a formal education. Whether it’s a bachelor’s degree for up-and-coming undergrads or an MA or Master of Fine Arts (MFA) for those looking to take their writing careers to new levels, Utah offers something for all aspiring authors.

“Every time you try to encourage someone else, your own soul will be flooded with a light and glow of peace and good cheer.” ~ Susa Young Gates

Utah’s Creative Writing Classes, Courses, and Workshops Can Prepare You for a Creative Writing Degree

At this point, you’ve probably realized that there’s no specific outline to follow if you want to become a writer. There’s no neatly penciled blueprint or step-by-step guide that’s going to assure your success. Career writing is simply not that prescriptive. Writing is, by its nature, unique to the author. No two writers produce the same story, nor share the same goals, visions, passion, or style. The finished piece is so exclusive and individualistic because the author’s template – the mind – is of, course, one-of-a-kind.

Your journey as a writer starts with exploring your own mind, reflecting on your ideas, discovering your passion, and finding your vision. The first thing you’ll want to do is connect with your local writing community. Getting involved locally is the best way to network, establish relationships, and find opportunities.

The League of Utah Writers is a state-wide writing organization which aims to help writers develop skill through peer critique workshops and skill-building seminars. It has chapters throughout the state, including areas like Ogden, Salt Lake City, and Provo, so no matter where you are, you’re sure to be able to connect. The League also hosts its annual Pre-Quill Conference in Salt Lake City, which puts on writing workshops, hosts a keynote speaker, and concludes with a book signing event. And, if you want to get your name out there, you can participate in any of the group’s three annual contests – the Quills Awards, the Woolley Awards, and Typewriter Awards – or submit a piece of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry to the League’s 2023 Anthology .

If you like writing poetry, you’ll want to check out the Utah State Poetry Society (UTSPS). This group is a great connection point if you’re looking to improve your poetic skill and connect with fellow poets. The UTSPS has so much for you to get involved in – the annual poetry festival, annual writing contest, and poetry and creative writing seminars. And, with chapters in Ogden, Salt Lake City, and St. George, and even online, you’re sure to find a way to connect!

Don’t forget to check out your local literary circulars, too. This is the best way to stay up to date about events and opportunities in your local area. The Quarterly West is an online literary journal sponsored by the University of Utah. Through its partnership with the Academy of American Poets, all poems published in the Quarterly West are shared with the Academy, giving writers access to a larger audience. The journal also pays generously to winners of its poetry and prose contests, with top prize of $500 plus publication to the winner and $200 to the runner-up.

Undergraduate studies, main navigation, professional and technical writing, program description.

The certificate in Professional and Technical Writing prepares students for thinking about writing as a rhetorical and social act, wherein the message conveyed is not only well crafted, but meets the expectations of the audience in terms of its design and execution. Workplace documents must meet workplace standards, as well as consider target audiences. Today those messages can be in the form of texts, web pages, blogs, podcasts, and videos, as well as the more traditional messages of “print.” Because of the digital, writing can employ all of these features or some them, depending on the type of document. Courses related to various writing modalities are included in the certificate.

Academic and Career Opportunities

There is a consistent need for technical and professional writers with local companies and organizations; for in-house and national clients; medical writers to create documents for best practices and medical devices; engineering companies that require specialized documentation for products. In addition, there is a need for proposal and grant writers, in profit and non-profit organizations. Students in the WRS major who have taken advantage of the courses that will comprise the certificate are now employed by various companies in the Salt Lake Valley as proposal writers, content editors, web designers, and in publishing houses. Depending on experience, salaries range from entry-level (approximately $40,000) to the more experienced writers who begin at approximately $60,000.
