Success After Susquehanna

Susquehanna's English and creative writing students succeed.

They have won four Associated Writing Programs Intro Awards for poetry in the past seven years, and they have begun to publish in national magazines. One has recently won a national chapbook contest, and another a national magazine award for poetry. Two recent alums received book contracts during 2007 and will publish in 2008 and 2009.

They have secured jobs at magazines like Us Weekly and In Touch, the most successful magazine launch of 2002, as well as with publishers like Prentice Hall, Harper Collins, and Simon & Schuster.

They have secured dozens of internships, edited and produced on-campus and national magazines, and given formal readings of their creative work.

They have become lawyers, teachers, editors, journalists, grant writers, copyeditors, and advertising writers.
