Typically works of fiction, creative writing spans different genres and styles and can include short stories, novels, poetry, plays and scripts. Creative writing can be any type of written work that is not technical or analytical.

The skills you develop through practice and critique of your written work can prepare you for many career paths that require creativity and storytelling. In addition to writers, the literary and publishing industry needs people in business positions, such as agents, editors and marketers. 

Writing for publications, volunteering and getting involved with student groups that focus on fiction are important ways to gain experience. Start to build a portfolio of your written work — including related coursework and any of your work that has been published — so you are prepared to demonstrate your skills and accomplishments. 

Seeking out alumni who work in an area of interest to you is a great way to learn about their career journey and get advice. Conducting industry research to determine your target organizations and then reviewing postings on their websites is the best way to find opportunities for internships or full-time work.

Because this field spans multiple types of organizations and roles, there is not a single hiring process or timeline. Many organizations typically hire close to the start date for the position. Identifying organizations of interest and then checking their websites regularly or speaking to alumni who work there will offer insights into their specific recruiting cycles.

What Is a Master’s in Creative Writing?

A master’s in creative writing is an advanced degree that helps you develop the skills to write your own novel, poetry, screenplay or nonfiction book. This degree can also prepare you for a career in business, publishing, education, marketing or communications.

In a creative writing master’s degree program, you can expect to analyze literature, explore historical contexts of literary works, master techniques for revising and editing, engage in class workshops and peer critiques, and write your own original work.

Creative writing master’s programs usually require a thesis project, which should be well-written, polished and ready to publish. Typical examples of thesis projects include poetry collections, memoirs, essay collections, short story collections and novels.

A master’s in creative writing typically requires about 36 credits and takes two years to complete. Credit requirements and timelines vary by program, so you may be able to finish your degree quicker.

Specializations for a Master’s in Creative Writing

Below are a few common concentrations for creative writing master’s programs. These vary by school, so your program’s offerings may look different.

This concentration helps you develop fiction writing skills, such as plot development, character creation and world-building. A fiction concentration is a good option if you plan to write short stories, novels or other types of fiction.

A nonfiction concentration focuses on the mechanics of writing nonfiction narratives. If you plan to write memoirs, travel pieces, magazine articles, technical documents or nonfiction books, this concentration may suit you.

Screenwriting is an excellent concentration to explore if you enjoy creating characters and telling stories to make them come alive for television or film. This specialization covers how to write shorts, episodic serials, documentaries and feature-length film scripts.

Admission Requirements for a Master’s in Creative Writing

Below are some typical admission requirements for master’s in creative writing degree programs. These requirements vary, so check with your program to ensure you’ve met the appropriate requirements.

  • Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution

  • Writing samples
  • Letters of recommendation
  • Personal statement or essay

Common Courses in a Master’s in Creative Writing

Story and concept.

This course focuses on conceptualizing, planning and developing stories on a structural level. Learners study how to generate ideas, develop interesting plots, create outlines, draft plot arcs, engage in world-building and create well-rounded characters who move their stories forward.

Graduate Studies in English Literature

Understanding literature is essential to building a career in creative writing. This course prepares you to teach, study literature or write professionally. Expect to discuss topics such as phonology, semantics, dialects, syntax and the history of the English language.

Workshop in Creative Nonfiction

You’ll study classic and contemporary creative nonfiction in this course. Workshops in creative nonfiction explore how different genres have emerged throughout history and how previous works influence new works. In some programs, this course focuses on a specific theme.

Foundations in Fiction

In this course, you’ll explore how the novel has developed throughout literary history and how the short story emerged as an art form. Coursework includes reading classic and contemporary works, writing response essays and crafting critical analyses.

MA in Creative Writing vs. MFA in Creative Writing: What’s the Difference?

While the degrees are similar, a master of arts in creative writing is different from a master of fine arts in creative writing. An MA in creative writing teaches creative writing competencies, building analytical skills through studying literature, literary theory and related topics. This lets you explore storytelling along with a more profound knowledge of literature and literary theory.

If you want your education to take a more academic perspective so you can build a career in one of many fields related to writing, an MA in creative writing may be right for you.

An MFA prepares you to work as a professional writer or novelist. MFA students graduate with a completed manuscript that is ready for publishing. Coursework highlights subjects related to the business of writing, such as digital publishing, the importance of building a platform on social media , marketing, freelancing and teaching. An MA in creative writing also takes less time and requires fewer credits than an MFA.

If you want to understand the business of writing and work as a professional author or novelist, earning an MFA in creative writing might be your best option.

I quit Amazon after I cracked the code for promotions. It took me 14 years to become a principal engineer — here's how.

  • Steve Huynh transitioned from creative writing to programming, landing a contract role at Amazon.
  • He faced an eight-year struggle to get promoted from senior to principal engineer.
  • In 2020, Huynh achieved his goal, earning $270,000 before quitting to pursue YouTube.

Insider Today

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Steve Huynh , a 42-year-old from Seattle, Washington. It has been edited for length and clarity.

A friend used his connection to land me an interview for a contract role at Amazon after I expressed interest in transitioning from creative writing to programming. I got the job in 2006 and made it my mission to create such an undeniable presence at the company that my transition into full-time employment would be guaranteed. And I did just that.

After multiple swift promotions that led me to become a senior software engineer by 2012, I found myself in a career rut . It took me eight painful years to finally get promoted. Along the way, I struggled and even considered quitting.

In 2020, my fiercely systematic approach to getting a promotion worked and I achieved my goal of becoming a principal engineer. In my 18 years at Amazon, I successfully went from making $35 an hour as a contractor to making $270,000 as a principal engineer. Then, I finally quit.

I graduated with a degree in creative writing and transitioned into tech

In my last semester as a creative writing undergrad at the University of Washington , I asked my writing workshop professor what the job landscape for writers looked like. He told me there's no job called writer, there's only a job called waiter. I took his comment to heart and pivoted my job search to programming.

Both of my parents are engineers and I'd been programming since I was little, plus I double minored in math and applied math, so I felt like I was three-quarters of the way to being a software engineer. I ended up falling in love with it.

A friend helped me land a contract role at Amazon

Shortly after I graduated, I was grabbing drinks with a buddy from high school who was working at Amazon. He knew of a job opening at Amazon for a support engineer role and guaranteed me he could snag me an interview. The job was a contract role, and my responsibility would be to identify and resolve computer issues. It felt software engineer-adjacent, so I took him up on the opportunity and got the job at $35 per hour.

I quickly got into the rhythm of the day-to-day job and didn't find my responsibilities challenging. For half the day I found myself with no other work to complete, so I utilized my free time to learn new programming skills and create a presence at the company.

I went above and beyond at Amazon to get promoted from contract to full-time

Amazon is a pretty transparent place so I took advantage of its internal Wikipedia to download as much information as possible about its coding systems. I let my curiosity drive me down a rabbit hole and soaked up as much information from internal sources as I could.

I also made a concerted effort to insert myself into the software development department and create an undeniable presence at the company . For example, if a customer came to me with a website issue due to a software bug, my job as a support person would be to file a bug report. Instead, I'd file the bug report and immediately locate the impacted piece of code and file a fix for it. Software engineers had to review my changes, but I forged a trusting relationship with them by effectively contributing to their jobs. I slowly networked my way into monthly software engineer meetings and steadily expanded my frontier of exposure within the group.

After 5 years my salary grew by over $25,000

In late 2007, I felt ready for a new role and decided to interview for a lateral move within the company. I was only supposed to reach out to one department for job opportunities at a time, but I contacted and secured interviews with three departments.

To prepare for the interviews, I pooled colleagues for questions they remembered being asked during their interviews and created a comprehensive database. Then I asked my new software engineer friends to give me mock interviews . I ended up getting job offers from all three departments I interviewed for.

I accepted a job in payments as a software development engineer for $75,000 where my role was to perform high-scale backend transaction processing. The job was boring from the outside, but we were playing with some pretty big numbers which kept it interesting. I stayed in that role for nearly five years before being promoted to senior development engineer in 2012 with a base salary of $107,000.

I sacrificed my chances of promotion to work on a product I loved

Four years after I became a senior engineer , I felt ready to be promoted to principal, but I was denied. Luckily, I'd just gotten moved to a team developing Amazon Tickets, a Ticketmaster alternative, and I loved it. The project shifted me out of a promotion mindset. I was so enraptured with the project.

But in March 2018, two years into development, Amazon Tickets was unexpectedly shuttered . At that point, I was so done. I started feeling disengaged at work and seriously considered quitting. It was the lowest of lows for me.

I quickly got reorged to the Prime Video live events team and started reporting to a new manager. I had the opportunity to lead the live services engineering teams on broadcasts for events like Thursday Night Football. I found it hugely exciting. Plus, I hit it off right away with my new manager and we became a powerhouse duo. He even helped me write and submit my promotion document, though I got denied that first time around.

In 2019, I cracked the code to my Amazon promotion then I quit

Amazon has an incredibly granular list of criteria that need to be met before you can be considered for promotion, so I worked with my manager to identify the gaps in my performance, and I got feedback that helped me get systematic about my approach moving forward.

I created a project for each gap that, if completed, could serve as evidence of my ability. I worked backward to create a strict timeline to finish my projects between July 2019 and November 2019, when the promotion document was due.

I was denied again, but my list of missing criteria had shrunk significantly. I created projects for those final skills and submitted another promotion document a few months later and was approved to become a principal engineer at a salary of $160,000. But, just as I was promoted, the pandemic shut down all our sports leagues, and for the first time in a while, I had time.

I started watching a lot of YouTube videos and decided to use my extra time to throw my hat in the ring and start my own tech channel .

I already owned a lot of photography equipment so it wasn't too much of a stretch for me. By 2024, my salary at Amazon had grown to $270,000, but I was making nearly as much from YouTube. I realized I'd regret not taking a chance on myself and going all in on YouTube. In March of this year, I officially quit Amazon .

I'm happy with my decision but I miss writing code

Creating content is incredibly satisfying, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss working on projects that affected hundreds of millions of people. I miss writing code. I miss being a stone's throw away from brilliant people. Sometimes, I even miss the corporate jargon .

I spent 50% of my waking life at Amazon and feel like it'll always be a part of me. Maybe one day I'll go back, but for now, I'm happy with the path I've chosen.

If you work in Big Tech and would like to share your salary progression and career journey, please email Tess Martinelli at [email protected] .

University of Idaho

Icon heart

See what students say:

University of Idaho is truly a school that invests in its students. Despite its large size, the university manages to create a "personalized learning experience" for all undergrads. Idaho also provides numerous "networking opportunities" for their students. One student explains, "Being here at UI, I've had the chance to meet many people in industry, which helped me land an internship at NASA JPL this past summer." Academically, Idaho offers students a wide range of stellar departments. However, undergrads especially like to tout the fantastic "engineering, agriculture, business, and law programs." Fortunately, no matter what you choose to study, the university is "incredible at creating an environment [in which] to build great relationships between professors and students." Though it's certainly helped by the fact that "the faculty here really cares about the students and genuinely wants to see them succeed." Undergrads appreciate that their professors help them become "welleducated students with the ability to think." Faculty are also happy to "host study sessions [in preparation] for exams and quizzes, and they are willing to answer all of your questions." And, best of all, Idaho professors "are very interesting and really bring their lectures to life."

Student Body

On the surface, the student body at University of Idaho might appear a bit homogenous; "most people are white," and it often feels like the vast majority hail from "Idaho, Washington, or Oregon." Nevertheless, the "population is slowly becoming more and more diverse." This is partially thanks to a "surprising number of international students." In turn, "this creates a unique opportunity to learn from people of different cultures." Undergrads also take great solace in the fact that their peers are "all very, very friendly" and united in their "kindness." Simply stroll across campus and you'll notice that "everyone smiles and says hi." An ecstatic student rushes to add, "My peers are the most supportive and uplifting people I've ever been surrounded by.... It's not uncommon to see students giving directions to lost tours or inviting perfect strangers to something like the farmers market or a film downtown." A lot of these Idaho Vandals also find common ground in their love of the outdoors, with many students looking to "take advantage of Moscow Mountain nearby for hiking, mountain biking, or snowshoeing." Finally, when it comes to political leanings, we're told that Idaho has an "unusually large number of libertarianminded students here." Thankfully, most undergrads "are very respectful, even when they strongly disagree." As one contemplative student states, "We rarely talk about tolerance here, but we act on it daily."

Campus Life

Undergrads at Idaho happily report that "there are always a lot of activities going on around campus." For starters, the student recreation center is often a big draw where students can "work out, play a variety of indoor sports, take classes, climb the rock wall, or just hang out." Students also love to explore the "two arboretums on campus." Idaho also has "a very involved Greek system that is always holding a philanthropic event somewhere on campus or in the community." The university sponsors a number of great cultural affairs including "an amazing Jazz Festival, Native American celebrations, African American celebrations, and many many more throughout the year." In fact, "on the weekends there is almost always [an] event to attend that is hosted by an organization at the university, whether it is just for fun or to raise money for a cause." Finally, students also love taking advantage of everything hometown Moscow has to offer. As one pleased Vandal elaborates, "There is usually something going on every night, be it trivia nights at local restaurants, local musicians playing at a coffee shop, or a book signing at Book People."
