As of Fall 2019, WORD: Creative Writing @ ASU is inactive. Please explore other clubs that may be of interest to you via SunDevilSync, which lists active student organizations.

WORD is dedicated to all students with an interest in creative writing, whether in the major or not. We aim to provide workshop space, writing activities, lectures on improving technique, and fun games and events that students of all majors and skill levels can enjoy.

The Glendon and Kathryn Swarthout Awards in Writing are one of ASU’s oldest and most celebrated traditions, recognizing the promising creative work of student writers. This will be the 64th year of the awards, which are made possible by the generosity of Swarthout Family.

There will be sixteen Glendon and Kathryn Swarthout Awards in Writing given annually, divided into two categories Undergraduate and Graduate. These awards will consist of a first, second, third, and honorable mention prize in each genre, poetry and fiction.
