Notes
In reference to the poster below: is anyone here genuinely in pursuit of becoming rich and famous or are you in pursuit of improving your craft as a writer/joining a writing community? I hope that post is a joke. MFA programs vary by rank, but they also vary in what type of writing they focus on. I’m not going to a top ten program, but I’m going to a program that emphasizes on the subject matter that aligns with what I write along with authors I admire. A visiting professor at my sub-par undergrad school who is a very successful writer gave the advice that 1) you don’t even need an MFA to write, the emphasis is on community and 2) go somewhere you will enjoy in terms of content, location, funding, and faculty. As long as you do well and your writing is good, you will most likely make it far.
