About the Major

About the Minor in Creative Writing
Students do not need to be English majors to minor in creative writing; most major in other subjects in the College and Williams School.
Shenandoah Internship
W&L’s award-winning online literary journal offers students the opportunity to participate in a semester-long internship, in which every intern is a staff member with responsibilities and privileges akin to those of an editorial assistant, and everyone has a voice in the decision-making process which results in each fresh issue.
