Course Catalog
To MFA, or not to MFA?
All Levels. Where are you going with your writing? This workshop is for anyone interested in learning more about taking the next step toward a degree in creative writing. What is an MFA program? What are the options, and what can one expect in such a program? We’ll explore these questions and your own writing goals. If an MFA is in your future, you’ll learn how to apply to top programs and how to balance work life with writing and graduate school.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
