Honors Thesis Showcase
Each spring, the Creative Writing Program celebrates a small group of students who have completed substantial projects in the Honors Thesis Program. These projects serve as the capstone of their creative writing careers at Penn and span the many genres reflected in our workshop courses: poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, screenwriting, journalism, speculative, fantasy, YA, translation, and more. Click below to learn about thesis projects from recent years.
