She got her start writing poetry, short stories and cartoons for her high school newspaper. In 1961 she received the E.J. Pratt medal for her first published book of poems, Double Persephone. In 1962 Atwood received her master's degree from Radcliffe College, while she was an undergraduate she wrote for the college literary magazine. She then moved on to study at Harvard and then began teaching at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver.

She has received more than 30 awards, medals, and prizes in her lifetime.
