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.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Winter quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
