  • Tell Me More!

[email protected] [email protected]

Students in the program gain experience, confidence, and mastery as writers with the goal of completing excellent work worthy of publication. They do so in an intellectual setting that will deepen their understanding of art and beauty and give them a broad grasp of the western literary tradition especially as it has been shaped by the great Catholic authors of past and present.

A First of Its Kind

Students will complete three semesters of workshops in their chosen genre (poetry or fiction) and a thesis, while taking exciting, well-integrated seminars in subjects directly related to their work as writers. All MFA courses are conducted as traditional graduate seminar discussions. Each course meets one evening a week for live and lively communal engagement in the study of literature, the improvement of each writer's work, and the building up of a convivial literary community.

The MFA in Creative Writing seeks to transform the life and spirit of contemporary literature.  This program is committed to the renewal of serious craft in contemporary literature and the continued revival of the Catholic literary and intellectual tradition.

Fellowships

The MFA program at the University of St. Thomas offers several fellowships that provide tuition assistance and help students toward the completion of their degree. All applicants and enrolled students are automatically considered for one of several fellowships including:

UST CCWLS to award first writing fellowships in 2024

THE UNIVERSITY’s Center for Creative Writing and Literary Studies (CCWLS) has launched the UST Writing Fellowship, which will replace the UST National Writers’ Workshop. 

The fellowship will focus on fiction, creative nonfiction, and hybrid submissions in its first edition.

According to project coordinator Assoc. Prof. Chuckberry Pascual, the UST Writing Fellowship will help “advanced writers” develop book-length manuscripts.

“Sa ngayon, marami nang nagbibigay ng workshop for writers , ” Pascual told the Varsitarian . “Kaya naisipan naming iba naman ang service na ibigay sa writing community . ”

(There are already numerous workshops for writers. That’s why we thought of providing a different service to the writing community.)

“ Para sa medyo advanced writers na ito kasi required na published na ,” he added. “ ‘Yung consultation, mas in-depth at mas focused ang usapan tungkol sa writing project at mas collegial rin ang approach.”

(This is for more advanced writers because it requires fellows to have published works. The consultation will be more in-depth and more focused on writing projects and will be more collegial in approach).

Applicants must submit a sample of their previously published work, or individual pieces published in journals and anthologies or staged in films and plays. 

It will be open to Thomasians and non-Thomasians. 

The fellowship will have one-on-one consultations and craft lectures, a departure from the format of the UST National Writers’ Workshop which was first mounted in 1999. 

Excerpts of accepted fellows’ revised works will be submitted for publication in the center’s peer-reviewed journal, Tomás.

The 2024 UST Writing Fellowship will also mark the center’s first onsite writing clinic since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Kontribusyon ito ng UST sa pagpapayabong ng panitikan sa bansa. Nagpo-promote din ito ng sense of community sa writers, hindi lang sa loob ng Unibersidad kundi pati sa labas ,” Pascual said. 

(This is UST’s contribution to the development of Philippine literature. This will also promote a sense of community to writers, not only in the University, but also outside.)

The CCWLS aims to hold the fellowship in June or July 2024.

Submission of applications will be open until Dec. 18. 

Pascual said the center will focus on poetry, drama, and screenplay submissions in 2025.

  • October 31, 2018

Three titles were featured in the 9th UST Authors Series organized by the UST  Center for Creative Writing and Literary Studies  (UST CCWLS) held on October 2, 2018, at the Auditorium of the Thomas Aquinas Research Complex (TARC).

This latest edition of the UST Authors Series, titled Lumugar Ka!: Ang Lokasyon sa Pagsasalin, Talambuhay at Kritisismo, featured three titles, all published by the UST Publishing House: Finding Teo: Tula/Talambuhay, a biography of Teo Antonio by award-winning writer and UST Department of Literature and Humanities Chair Joselito D. Delos Reyes, Ph.D., Sa mga Pagitan ng Buhay at Iba pang Pagtutulay, a book of poetry translations by UST CCWLS Assistant Director Ralph Semino Galán, and Ang Tagalabas sa Panitikan, a book of poetics and criticism by BA Creative Writing Program Coordinator Chuckberry J. Pascual, Ph.D. Before the open forum, each author was given time to talk briefly about their new books.

The TARC Auditorium was packed with students from the UST Faculty of Arts and Letters and College of Education, and Far Eastern University, as well as guest writers. Also present were UST Secretary-General Rev. Fr. Jesús Miranda, Jr., O.P., UST Research Center for Culture, Arts and Humanities Director Prof. Joyce Arriola Ph.D., Executive Secretary to the Rector Prof. Augusto Antonio A. Aguila, Ph.D., and UST Department of English Chair Prof. Camilla Vizconde, Ph.D. UST CCWLS Director and Prof. Emeritus Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo, Ph.D., in her closing remarks, emphasized how the variety of specializations of the UST CCWLS Resident Fellows can serve in their mentorship of students. Their unique perspective as producers of literature would also provide another dimension to students’ encounter with literary texts. UST Publishing House Director Ma. Ailil B. Alvarez provided an engaging critical commentary on each of the three new works as they were introduced to the audience.

The program was coordinated by Mr. Ned Parfan, assisted by Alvarez, while Mr. Jose P. Mojica of the Department of Media Studies hosted the event. The UST Authors’ Series is a regular program, which aims to update the university and the literary community on the latest individual productions of the UST CCWLS.
