Writers House at Rutgers-Camden

The Writers House on Cooper Street is a vibrant space where the campus and community come together to celebrate writing in all its forms. As the home of the MFA program and select English department classes, it also hosts an array of public events, including the Writers in Camden Series, Writers Hour programs, student-run initiatives, and community workshops.

Open to both the Rutgers community and the public, the Writers House unites artists, scholars, students, and citizens around the power of the written word. Signature programs like the Writers in Camden reading series and Cooper Street Workshops offer unique opportunities for engagement and inspiration.

The historic building, meticulously restored to preserve its Queen Anne Revival charm, adds a unique character to the enriching experiences offered within its walls. It also houses Story Quarterly, the English department’s literary magazine, further solidifying its role as a literary hub.
