First CWC meeting of the semester is TONIGHT!! Genny has prepared an interesting discussion topic (hint: it's about resolutions & good habits!) and one of her all-time favorite prompts borrowed from the wonderful human that is Bob Vivian. You don't want to miss it! #seeyouthere #msucwc #msucreativewritingclub #writemore #gobears (at Club Meyer)

Emily Gillespie is a senior at Missouri State, studying Creative Writing, and she's the Philanthropy Director of Creative Writing Club! Emily has studied many things, but only writing allows her to explore the human experience in all of its breadth and depth. Emily enjoys writing fiction, memoir, comics, even poetry and was invited to present her paper on Forrest Gump (the book) at Missouri State's Undergraduate Literary Conference last spring. She's engaged to be married to the love of her life and is a dog mom to two beautiful, mischievous huskies, Ridley and Raphaelle. Emily hopes to inspire our members and organize opportunities for us to get out into the community and share our love and knowledge of the craft.

Rebecca Sprauer is a senior at Missouri State, studying Creative Writing and she's the Treasurer of Creative Writing Club! Becca chose to major in creative writing because being a writer is the only thing that lets her be anything she wants to be. In one day, she can create herself as a doctor or a garbage man - it's like dipping into any life she wants. She does most of her writing when it's dark outside and most humans are sleeping, or of course, at Mudhouse (😻). She also loves to practice German in public places, especially when it weirds out the people around her. She loves to watch Ru Paul's Drag Race with her sister; it's some sort of guilty pleasure sister bonding. You can follow her @rebeccasprauer !! #msucwc #bearup (at Missouri State University)

Genevieve Richards is a senior at Missouri State, studying Creative Writing and Linguistics, and is the Vice President of Creative Writing Club! She's had a long coming of age into her identity as a writer (and will always be in a state of becoming and unbecoming), but she wouldn't be here with us if it weren't for Jen's Fiction II class, which convinced her she should change her major and pursue a career as a English Professor (her 8th grade dream job). Genny enjoys writing in both fiction and creative nonfiction and is inspired by beautiful and talented writers like Cheryl Strayed, Robert Vivian, and Mary Karr. She hopes to share her love of writing and passion for the craft with her fellow peers in a loving and welcoming writing community here at MSU.

Amanda Hadlock is the founder and President of Creative Writing Club. She is majoring in Secondary Education and English. She decided to start Creative Writing Club after taking Jen's Short Story class last semester and was incredibly inspired by Jen's talent and passion for writing. Amanda hopes to use the club as a way to spread the contagious joy of writing throughout the MSU community and hopefully inspire others to do the same.
