Word: Creative Writers @ ASU

WORD is dedicated to letting your inner writer come out. Through meeting other people who have the same passion for writing, we hope to create a community at ASU where individual work can be read, listened to, and events can be planned whose emphasis is on the creative process. Membership is open to all majors, all creative genres (short story, novel, dramatic works, songwriting, poetry, etc.) and is free for all.

Please visit WORD: Creative Writers at ASU for more information about our upcoming events as well as writing and art events around Phoenix.
