Now in its 25th year, writing workshop focuses on creative writing as a professional tool.

Founded in 1991 by Tom Walz, emeritus professor in social work, the Creative Writing Seminar for Helping Professionals workshop is designed for people of all writing abilities who are interested in using creative writing as a professional tool.

The four-day workshop includes lectures, writing time, and critique sessions in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Sessions focus on creative writing techniques and the intersection of creative writing and human service practice. The UI School of Social Work, in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is the only social work program in the country to offer a summer writing seminar specifically for social workers and other helping professionals.
