Comment: All links on this page are to WP:PRIMARYSOURCES or to the student paper, which, per WP:RSSM does not confer notability. The page also needs to be properly formatted and reworked not to read like WP:PROMO material. Reliable sources added should be added as inline citations (WP:IC).

Stanford houses a large undergraduate Creative Program with nine faculty members and twenty-three Jones Lecturers teaching more than 100 courses a year, including many speciality classes, including the Novel Writing Intensive, the Stanford Graphic Novel Project, Fiction into Film, the American Road Trip, Family Stories, and the Novel Salons. The Creative Writing minor, popular among non-English majors, is the most popular minor on campus and is known for its innovation, student-centered approach and mentoring relationships between lecturers, Stegner Fellows, and undergraduates and student authors.
Studies[edit]
Opportunities for undergraduates in Stanford's Creative Writing include taking classes with the Stein Visiting Writers and attending readings and events with the Mohr Visiting Poet. Other opportunities include independent studies, creative theses, and the Levinthal Tutorials, where undergraduates work in one-on-one mentoring relationships with Stegner Fellows over the course of a quarter.
Alumni[edit]
Stanford undergraduates frequently go on to publish books, often from drafts they wrote in undergraduate workshops. Prominent alumni authors of Stanford's undergraduate Creative Writing Program include Brit Bennett, David Henry Hwang, Malavika Kannan, Christina Li, Yaa Gyasi, Emily Layden, Karan Mahajan, Simar Malhotra, Brittany Newell, Anthony Veasna So, Belinda Huijuan Tang, Tony Tulathimutte. Vauhini Vara, and Jenny Zhang. Many alumni have cited the supportive atmosphere and ample opportunities in Stanford's undergraduate program as the reason they became writers.
