Rutgers-Camden Writers House

With a front door on historic Cooper Street, the Writers House provides a welcoming space for the campus and community to celebrate writing across diverse disciplines, communities, and media. Our Writers in Camden reading series, Cooper Street Workshops, and our unique menu of interdisciplinary programs unite artists, scholars, students and citizens around the power of the written word. The Writers House is also home to the Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.
