Structured around the work of several visiting contemporary writers, the Writing Now Reading Series and Seminar is a required course for CalArts MFA Creative Writing graduate students that showcases vibrant new modalities for writing that refresh today’s interconnected creative fields. Writing Now offers inspiring points of contact and critical conversation about writing process and practice between visiting writers, students and local audiences, with an eye for fostering the collaborative, the future-forward, and the unexpected in literature.

“Writing Now+ Across Social Distance” is hosted in conjunction with the MFA Creative Writing Program’s Accepted Students Event, and is open to CalArts students, staff, alums, and faculty. Writers and artists around the globe are also invited to tune in via Zoom.
