MFA Fiction Programs - Questions & Concerns
|
|
|
Hi,
Can anyone suggest an MFA program that isn't fluffy and isn't focused on the Identity (of being a Writer: )?
The creative writing faculty at my undergraduate university was well, pretentious - lots of talk about this person winning this prize and similar preciousness. Our teacher would invited us to a reading by an author she knew and then pretend not to know us when we got there. The teachers tended to prattle on about who won what prize and why that was Important or why they were Briiiiillllliant!
By "down-to-earth" I mean a faculty composed of genuine, straightforward, otherwise ordinary people who happen to be very talented writers (and teachers).
Thanks.
