Our Faculty

All our courses, whether in creative writing or literature, are taught by practicing writers who are themselves producing original work. Our full-time core faculty is joined by visiting writers who provide creative breadth to the program or bring expertise in more specialized areas of creative writing.

These distinguished authors rotate into the schedule throughout the year, teaching in the regular term at Southampton or Manhattan, or in the summer at Southampton.

We also welcome visiting writers to both Manhattan and Southampton through our reading series, Writers Speak. In the spring, we bring to campus a series of literary agents, who hold individual conferences with students in thesis. 

All our faculty members, full-time and visiting, have joined us because they care about encouraging new voices. Still others visit us in the pages of our distinguished literary journal, The Southampton Review.
