Whether you're interested in writing for fiction, the screen or stage, scientific analysis or business communications, journalism or the Web, Southampton's writing programs will inspire the discipline, creativity and style needed for great writing.

We invite you to study with a nationally distinguished faculty of authors, poets, and journalists in the heart of the Hamptons, an internationally famous resort known for the beauty of its seaside setting and the diversity of the authors and artists who have made it their home. Because of its location, Southampton's writing program is in a unique position to put talented students in touch with the established writers. Its Distinguished Authors and Lecturers program draws on the large pool of noted writers living on Long Island's East End and in the New York metropolitan region.
