History

Pulitzer Prize winning poet Philip Schultz has developed a unique method for teaching creative writing using a series of increasingly challenging writing prompts. Over the past 28 years, the program has been quietly helping writers reach their potential. Our students and alumni find personal fulfillment, publish, and win awards. Recent awards include a Pulitzer Prize for Jennifer Egan, three Pushcart Prizes, and three National Book Award finalists. We work with writers at all levels of achievement.
