Learning Outcomes

  • Writer-in-Residence

There's more to the world of writing than you think.

Program overview, prepare for a career in both writing and publishing.

In this unique program, you'll gain experience in a variety of writing genres and media platforms — and be ready for a career in today's publishing industry. You'll graduate with a broad skill set that gives you the opportunity to choose a variety of career paths.

Focus on your interests

This flexible program allows you to focus on your interests and career goals. In addition to core courses in creative writing, publishing and literary studies, your program electives let you tailor your education in these three disciplines. You'll have the opportunity to take courses from Sheridan's arts and business degrees and collaborate with students in other programs.

Connect with communities

Relationships with audiences, writers and the publishing community are integral parts of being an author. In this program, you're encouraged to develop these relationships through internships, connecting with literary communities, editing and publishing literary journals, writing reviews and more. You'll have the chance to make an impact in your community of practice — and community at large.

Learn from expert faculty

With experience in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama and new media, our faculty have collectively written and edited in nearly every genre. Their work includes historical novels, creative non-fiction and criticism, sci-fi, comedy, children's lit and beyond. You'll benefit from their expertise — and gain a solid foundation for your writing or publishing career.

Our faculty are successful industry professionals who have, to date:

  • Authored 17 books, with more in progress
  • Authored more than 220 shorter works, published in national and international journals, literary magazines and anthologies
  • Authored 56 journalistic articles and counting
  • Edited 123 books, with more in progress
  • Been shortlisted for 35 writing awards
  • Won four awards for writing and 13 awards for editing
  • Had seven plays produced

Be a part of Sheridan's emerging literary culture

As a student in this program, you'll be part of Sheridan's emerging literary culture. Events like Sheridan Reads bring together students, faculty and staff, community groups, libraries and public service organizations to discuss and celebrate the works of local and international writers (most recently Lawrence Hill and Thomas King).

Other initiatives such as the 905 Road Show: Creativity Cabaret, using the power of narrative to forge connections between individuals and communities, have also helped bring creative writers to Sheridan — and foster a culture of literary appreciation on campus.

Sheridan has been granted a consent by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to offer this degree for a seven-year term starting October 18, 2022 and subject to renewal thereafter. Application to the Ministry for renewal of the consent is a prescribed and cyclical requirement for degree programs at all Ontario Colleges. Sheridan will ensure that all students admitted to the Honours Bachelor of Creative Writing and Publishing program during the period of consent will have the opportunity to complete the program within a reasonable time frame. Credentials earned during the period of consent remain valid, even if Ministry consent to offer the program is withdrawn in the future. Prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the program and the degree will be appropriate to their needs (e.g. acceptable to potential employers, professional licensing bodies, or other educational institutions).

Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design curriculum and its delivery are designed to address current social issues pertinent to the design industry. This enables students to broaden their understanding of their place within the world.

Fundamental to the vision of the program is the balance of creative and conceptual thinking with the technical and business aspects of the profession. Courses follow a logical sequence with the degree of difficulty building vertically from first year to fourth year.

The various streams provide a range of design problems building in size and scope, from simple to complex in various design sectors. The curriculum builds on fundamental introductions that ensures a strong foundation for students to apply additional more complex learning and skills developed later in the program.

Studio projects are designed to mimic professional practice and require applied theory, creativity and strong technical knowledge. Curriculum is also connected horizontally across each semester to help support the learning in courses happening simultaneously. This demonstrates the inter-connected knowledge and skills required to practice in the industry.

The program provides many opportunities that expose students to practicing professionals and professional practice. Industry leaders and representatives from professional associations like ARIDO and IDC are invited into the classroom as jurors and guest speakers throughout the four years. The internship also provides professional design work experience for students before they enter their final year of study.

The curriculum is student-centric and designed to equip students with the skills that are required for entry-level design positions and advanced study. Manual skills such as drafting, drawing and model making are developed alongside digital skills using current software. Students are also well-versed in the applicable building codes and regulations required to practice in Ontario. Students are exposed to valuable research skills and encouraged to continue their learning past graduation.

Program goals

Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design program aspires to:

  • Develop confident, creative and critical thinkers that can solve a variety of problems thoughtfully, improving the quality of the built environment and protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public.
  • Equip students with the tools to think independently and ethically to ensure technically, environmentally, and socially responsible decision-making.
  • Deliver current and relevant curriculum that incorporates equity, diversity and inclusion. This encourages students to create spaces that foster inclusivity and look at design from various perspectives within diverse communities, involving numerous stakeholders.
  • Inform students regarding the various facets of the profession, engaging them with designers and industry affiliates.
  • Encourage continuous professional and personal growth, instilling a desire to contribute to the profession and society at large. The program encourages students to become active participants in the design community, become members of their local Association, write their NCIDQ exams, give back to the community and become progressive leaders in the profession.
  • Prepare graduates for entry-level design positions, equipped with the required knowledge and skills for employment in the diverse design industry, ensuring they possess the body of knowledge necessary to respond to social and environmental issues, while designing interior spaces that are technically proficient, code-compliant, conceptually strong, sustainable and all-inclusive.
  • Provide enhanced opportunities for students to pursue post-graduate studies, employment, research and/or further their academic studies and/or credentials.

CREATIVE WRITING

A student sits on a stool, reading from a book into a microphone

Unlike any other creative writing program in Ontario, it enables students to hone their craft while exploring multiple art and design practices.

Collaborative by nature, our transdisciplinary and transcultural approach enriches imaginations, broadens perspectives and helps to develop each individual writer’s voice.

Our program includes the study of living literary culture and literary art practices and production, and emphasizes the practice, craft and production of spoken, written, visual and verbal texts as well as experimental language forms that exist both inside and outside established genres. We welcome ‘attitude’ translated on the page and off, through performance texts and other media.

This program combines written, performance and visual expression. You’ll participate in:

  • An online and print journal
  • Symposia, workshops
  • Showcasing and public performances
  • A book, zine and publications fair
  • Field trips to local readings, conferences and festivals
  • A digital and analog writing lab and access to sound studio
  • A reading series featuring established, emerging and student writers
  • Mentorships, as both mentees and later as mentors
  • University slam team
  • A nurturing and supportive emerging literary community
  • Mentorship by faculty

This program is for both new and emerging writers. You’ll become part of a nurturing and supportive literary community. By the end of your degree, you’ll complete a body of work aimed at publication or exhibition to launch your career.

Writing Courses at the University of Toronto

Much of the writing you will do at the University of Toronto has been carefully integrated into courses that focus on disciplinary knowledge rather than on the process of writing. But the University of Toronto also provides a wide range of writing courses, both credit and non-credit, designed specifically to help you develop your writing skills.

Undergraduate Credit Courses and Programs

There are several options for undergraduate students interested in taking a composition course:

  • The English department on the St. George campus offers two courses on composition. ENG100H1 (Effective Writing) provides practical tools for writing in university and beyond. JEI206H1 (Writing English Essays) teaches students who already write effectively how to write clear, compelling, research-informed English essays. For more information, see the Arts and Science calendar entry under English .
  • TRN190Y (Critical Reading and Critical Writing) is a first-year seminar course offered at Trinity College.
  • TRN478H1 (Science Writing for Non-Scientific Audiences) aims to train senior-level science students in a wide range of writing genres, focusing on a diversity of non-scientific audiences and writing styles.
  • Students at Scarborough may enroll in ENGB05h2 (Critical Writing about Literature). Visit the UTSC calendar for details.

Students may take courses in the following three college programs :

  • Innis College’s minor in Writing and Rhetoric reflects the belief that strong skills in critical thinking and written communication are central to a liberal education. It is built on a foundation of long-standing Innis courses in academic and creative writing and on more recently mounted courses in professional writing, rhetoric, and media.
  • Victoria College’s minor in Creative Expression and Society has two components: (1) workshop-style courses allowing students to develop skills in creative expression and communication, and (2) courses encouraging students to analyze the relationship between creative arts and society.
  • U of T at Mississauga offers a minor and major program in Professional Writing and Communication . The program aims to cultivate flexible, reflective writers/editors in small, interactive classes. It encourages students to develop writing portfolios and to publish work they produce in their courses.

Undergraduate students interested in developing their skills in creative writing may choose from a variety of course options:

  • The department of English in the Faculty of Arts and Science offers three credit courses in creative writing, ENG389Y (Creative Writing) and ENG391Y or ENG393H (Individual Studies, Creative). Look under English in the Arts and Science fall/winter timetable for further information.
  • Victoria College offers a number of workshop-style courses that focus on writing poetry, short stories, and novels as part of its program Creative Expression and Society .
  • The Writing and Rhetoric Program at Innis Colleges offers a seminar course in fiction writing.
  • Students planning to enter first year in the Faculty of Arts and Science may apply to enroll in the Innis One courses INI102H (Telling the Stories of the City: Writing Creative Non-Fiction) or INI106H (Writing Literary Journalism: Telling the Stories of the City).
  • Students may choose from a variety of courses in Victoria College’s program in  Creative Expression and Society .
  • The University of Toronto at Scarborough (UTSC) offers a minor program in Creative Writing .  Its faculty consists of award-winning writers who take a workshop-based, experiential approach to the study and practice of the literary arts.

Engineering Courses

Communication is integrated into the engineering curriculum through first-year courses that establish foundations in design and communication and through upper-year courses in each department that develop the specific communication demands of those fields. Those interested in specific course offerings can refer to the academic calendar for departmental course offerings or to the Engineering Communication Program homepage.

School of Graduate Studies Non-Credit Courses

The Graduate Centre for Academic Communication (GCAC) has set up a wide range of free non-credit courses for graduate students. They offer practice and instruction in the types of oral and written communication done as part of graduate programs. Some courses are intended specifically for non-native speakers of English. Look at the course descriptions for the full range of courses that are offered. Check to see what is currently being offered, or look at the course schedule for the entire academic year. Choose the course that best suits your needs, and sign up fast — spaces are limited! Or attend a GCAC  Writing Intensive , which will provide you with  a dedicated time and space for intensive writing.

Graduate Work in Creative Writing

The Department of English offers an MA program in English in the Field of Creative Writing . The program draws both on the expertise of faculty at U of T and on Toronto’s writing community.

Credit Courses in English Language

U of T at Scarborough’s Center for Teaching and Learning offers credit courses that are specially designed for university students whose first language is not English. All courses require the permission of the instructor.

OUR TEACHERS

Our founder, register for 2024-25 classes, what we teach, reading comprehension, writing skills, public speaking, testimonials.

 As a public school teacher, I understand the challenges of teaching a classroom of diverse learners writing skills beyond that of the “hamburger paragraph”. There are gaps in education where students do not learn the basic structures of writing. The result is students find writing a painful process, with poor outcomes and a stunted development of expression. Write on Q fixes this! Among other things, the program involves both the writing and editing processes and students receive meaningful FEEDBACK that guides their learning. Understanding the structure of how to write gives students the ability to develop their own style and voice, facilitates critical thinking but more importantly allows students to express themselves with accuracy and precision.

Shemin Jaffer IB Teacher (mother of Sofia and Serena, Write on Q grades 4-7, 3-6)

Write on Q has helped me in so many ways! For me, just bringing my writing folder to school to create full essays, it has made a big impact on my writing knowledge. Every class I learn something new; each time something different and interesting. The homework is very constructive as well, every lesson is building on the previous one… expanding my knowledge. Write on Q has several components such as vocabulary, essay and/or paragraph writing, and public speaking. Each of the elements has developed my writing skills and presentation skills.

In addition, it not only sets me up for everyday life but for the future too. The teachers are so helpful and they help me understand everything. Every single teacher is unique and experienced, but they all work together to ensure everything is understood; and that you’re progressing greatly.

Emma Tutoveanu (Student, Write on Q grades 4, 5 and 6)

Our son, now in grade 7, completed the two-year Write on Q program in grades 4 and 5. Years later, he continues to benefit from the skills he learned in this program and its uniquely developed curriculum taught by passionate teachers. By nature, our son is quiet and shy and does not like to draw attention to himself. He is also a “reluctant writer”. However, after participating in Write on Q we have noticed considerable improvement in his ability to write and deliver oral presentations. For example, last year he surprised himself (and his parents) when he moved on to be a finalist in his Middle School speech contest. While admittedly, he still does not “enjoy” written assignments or speaking in front of a group, our son credits the skills he learned in Write on Q to help him write and speak more confidently. Thank you Write on Q! We will soon be enrolling his younger sister.

Mrs. & Dr. Yim  (parents of A.J, Write on Q grades 4-5)

I have two children in the program, grade 4 and 6 respectively. Level one, this past year has been a huge success, With the added bonus that both children thoroughly enjoyed the curriculum. We saw a huge improvement in both writing and communication skills. Their public speaking skills have soared along with their vocabulary. The intensity of homework given, was fair and did not dominate their other priorities. The teachers were flexible and accommodating. I was quite impressed with the director Fatima. Her dedication, passion and knowledge was exemplary and obvious. Her personal touch towards all her students goes above and beyond. We look forward to this September and the level 2 program. I highly recommend Write on Q!

Salima  (mother)

“I started Write on Q in Grade 7, and finished at the end of Grade 8.

I can state that it is a great program, because I was the only one who won the English award at my school for the entire grade (150 students) based on my research, writing and presentation skills. Thanks, Write on Q! At first, I wasn’t sure why my mom enrolled me in this program, but I soon realized that we are learning how to read, synthesize, improve our vocabulary, write an essay, present in front of my peers, learn poetry and classical literature. I was impressed, and although I did find it challenging at times, I was pleased with myself that I was accomplishing so much. More importantly, we were learning to write effectively and practice our presentation skills, and I saw that we were not learning this enough in school, so I became very proficient at writing and presenting. Now in Grade 9, I get great marks in English. I am confident when it comes to doing research, writing, and presenting in class. Some of my classmates are very nervous because they are not prepared, and stress every time there is a paper or report to write. I look to help them because this is not a good feeling to have and now realize that my mom was right by enrolling me. I am also thankful for having attended WOQ for two years. This year I am a WOQ Volunteer Tutor, helping a new set of students who will become skilled and passionate about writing.”

Elena Pampaloni

This is a great program that helps kids organize ideas in logical structure in both writing and oral presentation. The writing skills taught in this program are much more advanced than similar topics covered by public or private schools based on our experience. These skills brought significant value to my son’s learning at school and contributed to his enrollment into the mid year IB program.

Quills and Quotes | Mississauga | Children's Afterschool Writing Programs

Quills and Quotes

  • Feb 26, 2019

Kids Writing Program in Oakville

Updated: May 5, 2019

Language Arts Course for Middle and Intermediate School

Quills and Quotes is an enriched afterschool English program accessible to all Peel and Halton students that teaches children writing and public speaking skills. The program goes beyond the classroom by using an advanced curriculum based on global knowledge and media literacy.

The program’s mission is to promote communication skills, which are fundamental in all aspects of life, including the classroom, graduate studies, and work.

The intermediate program is ideal for children in grades 5-8 who wish to perfect the 5-paragraph essay. Success in writing begins with the mastery of the 5-paragraph essay. Children learn how to hook the reader, develop a strong thesis, support their arguments and finish with a memorable conclusion. However, the program also teaches students how to finesse their essay with:

✓ A variety of “hook” styles

✓ Powerful transition words

✓ Editing for filler phrases, weak words, passive voice and common grammatical errors

✓ Techniques to highlight key points and give rhythm to the essay

✓ Ending with an impactful conclusion

Building vocabulary and reading comprehension

Students in Quills and Quotes are required to complete weekly homework related to advanced vocabulary building, critical analysis and reading comprehension. The students read a challenging paragraph designed to improve their vocabulary and reading comprehension, but also to cultivate their global knowledge. At Quills and Quotes, we believe the best writers are the most voracious readers, but the best thinkers are global readers.

Creative Writing

Quills and Quotes seeks to encourage creative writing. Often when children are forced to write for school, the task is for something formal and structured, and they lose their passion for writing. Creative writing is an essential outlet for expression, and we believe it must be nurtured.

Our program develops fundamental writing skills for academic writing as well as creative writing. We incorporate unique learning that takes your child beyond the classroom.

Creative outlets include:

✓ Poetry writing and an end of the year Poetry Slam

✓ Soap Box Speech

✓ Descriptive paragraph

✓ Narrative essay

✓ Learning and incorporating figurative language and imagery in our speeches and essays

✓ Writing based on great works of art, important historic figures and world exploration
