• The creative writing program is a community of writers composed of small class sizes and intimate workshops. Students gain confidence in communicating their ideas in a truly magical setting. Imagine sitting by the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers to draft a poem, or walking along the Castlegar campus trails - a significant gathering place for Indigenous peoples - to conjure the final scene in your short story.
  • Selkirk College offers a safe, peaceful and vibrant sense of place for writers to explore their imaginations in fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama. The creative writing classes are fully transferable to universities across Canada. Students take their first two years with the college itself and complete their third and fourth year of a degree program elsewhere.
