Creative Writing Institute

Creative Writing Institute

Since its founding in 2009, John Cabot University's Institute for Creative Writing and Literary Translation has become a thriving community of and for writers in Rome. With workshops in the major genres (fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction) and literary translation, the Institute is the place for creative writing students to spend serious time on their writing as they get to know the Eternal City.

In Summer 2023, the Institute will welcome Australian poet Susan Bradley Smith as Writer in Residence. Bradley Smith is Associate Professor of Creative Writing at Curtin University in Perth, Australia.

For further information about the Institute for Creative Writing and Literary Translation, please contact the Director, Professor Carlos Dews.
