From playwriting to investigative journalism to graphic fiction, Yale offers a wide range courses in creative writing. Many of these courses are taught by faculty in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences who combine writing experience at the highest level with deep commitment to teaching. 

This video collection, Teaching Writing at Yale, offers a glimpse into some of Yale's writing courses. From creating comics, to drafting a first play, to publishing investigative reporting, these three Professors in the Practice teach and mentor students in the art and craft of writing — giving students the opportunity to work intimately with some of today's most exciting writers.
