Class Description
Have you completed your MFA and started to wonder what comes next? Do you want to deepen your craft, share what you’ve learned, and connect with a new community of serious writers who are equally committed to their work?
This intensive eight-week workshop, offered exclusively to writers with an MFA in hand, builds on the foundation you’ve already established. Together, we’ll push your fiction further with rigorous discussion, sustained feedback, and craft conversations at an advanced level.
Each participant will have the opportunity to lead a focused craft session on an element they feel especially drawn to, creating a collaborative space where teaching and learning go hand in hand. You’ll workshop your own writing with engaged, experienced peers and receive thoughtful, high-level critique. We’ll also carve out time to discuss the professional landscape, from publishing pathways to sustaining a writing practice beyond graduate school.

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
