Support for Students in the Baccalauréat en écriture de scénario et création littéraire – Université de Montréal


Helping writers find their voice, sharpen their craft, and share powerful stories with the world.

The Bachelor’s in Screenwriting and Literary Creation at the Université de Montréal is designed for students who aspire to write for the page and the screen. Whether crafting novels, short stories, poetry, or screenplays, students are challenged to develop their creative voice while mastering the technical, narrative, and editorial tools essential to professional writing.

At Bouyela Education Corporation, we understand that writing is both an art and a discipline. It requires vulnerability, persistence, critical feedback, and creative risk-taking. Our mission is to support students through each phase of the writing process—so they don’t just complete their projects, but grow as creators, thinkers, and communicators.


📚 Unique Challenges in Writing & Literary Creation


Creative writing students face specific academic and emotional challenges that are unique to their field:

  • Creative Pressure & Writer’s Block: Developing original ideas on a deadline can be both exciting and stressful.

  • Technical Craft: Whether writing a screenplay or a poem, students must master narrative structure, pacing, character development, and dialogue.

  • Critique & Feedback: Sharing personal work in peer workshops requires confidence and openness to critique.

  • Multimodal Writing: Balancing literary writing with screenwriting, essays, and hybrid forms challenges students to adapt their style.

  • Career Uncertainty: Building a career as a writer often requires self-promotion, freelance work, and long-term planning.
