American University, UVA, George Mason, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Maryland all offer master’s degrees in fiction writing, and with deadlines coming up at the latter four schools, now’s the time to apply. If you’re planning to, or even if you’re still thinking about it, you’re in good company! Sign up for this two-hour lunchtime class, and together we’ll go over the major steps involved in getting an MFA in literary fiction. You’ll get practical advice on essential questions like how to decide if an MFA is right for you, how to apply, and how to craft a strong submission, plus you’ll get the inside scoop on what it’s like to go back to school if you’re a mature student, what funding opportunities exist, what it’s like to teach while taking classes in the evening, and how to make the most of your MFA program once you’re enrolled. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask the questions which most concern you—all in a friendly and supportive setting.
