A Community of Creative Writers

The Harvard Extension Creative Writing and Literature Club connects HES creative writers with professionals in the field, while also providing them with the knowledge to achieve success. The writing community is powerful, and we aim to organize activities that benefit students on their writing journey. We intend to pursue these goals by inviting agents, editors, publicists, and other professionals to attend events and share their knowledge with the Harvard Extension School creative writers.
