We are a community of writers who support, inspire, and challenge each other to explore the experimental, discover the depths of our craft, and emerge with a fresh, confident voice.

Located in a thriving metropolis of polyglot communities, the University of Miami’s Creative Writing Program features a broad multilingual focus and offers writers a singular opportunity to hone their craft in a vibrant, multicultural city unlike any other. Enrollments in our courses are kept deliberately small to maximize student-teacher interaction, and faculty at UM are supportive of the linguistic and cultural differences that writers bring to their art.

A man you can trust

P. Scott Cunningham is a person you can trust when it comes down to the Miaminess of Miami. As a recipient of a 30+ dollar beverage myself in this great town, you'll be wise and savvy to heed his advice when it comes to drinking here.

grusso replied on June 7, 2012 - 12:27pm Permalink

hope to visit soon

Scott really captures the flavor of Miami and even this Florida native learned a thing or two about where to light  down there these days.  Can't wait to return.
