Applicant Information – MFA Creative Writing

The low-residency MFA创意写作 program has been life-changing.  I have made life-long friends, met mentors who care deeply about my aims as a writer, and grown in my ability 至 match the reality of my craft with my vision. What’s more, as an active duty Air Force officer, within the warm circle of fellow writers there is a smaller, concentric circle of veterans and active duty service members who provide instant support and empathy for my own experience. You could not ask for a better program as a writer 和 could not find one as a veteran.
