“This is the place where aspiring, talented writers gather to develop their craft, and in the process learn more about their own unique selves, talents and insights. Each writer has a story or stories that only he or she can tell, and in creative writing classes at the University of Mobile we search for that unique treasure. Having small classes and workshops allows me to give each student close attention. Students also get to know one another well, and we have a close-knit community.”
