<p>dudediligence: Grinnell seems to be great in English, but has few creative writing classes. They don't have anything for nonfiction or screen/playwriting. Washington U is better, but I think most of their attention in writing goes to the grad program. Emory looks great.</p>

<p>Others: Hollins, Colorado College, Susquehanna. </p>

<p>In general, if you have time, look through literary magazines, find out what ones have won top awards. It will tell you a lot.</p>
