Faculty

The CWW's distinguished faculty have won a number of international literary awards, among them, Canada's highest award for literature (the Giller Prize), the largest grant awarded to women authors in the U.S. (The Gift of Freedom Award), as well as the Faulkner/Wisdom Prize in two categories (novel, novel-in-progress), and NEA fellowships.

Our teachers not only win awards in their areas of expertise, they routinely win departmental and university teaching awards. Because we keep our classes small and believe in the importance of accessibility, students have the opportunity to learn from masters in the field in a close, casual environment of support.
