Overview

The faculty of the Department of Creative Writing at University of North Carolina Wilmington view MFA students as colleagues-in-the-making. To help initiate them into the profession, we offer a series of panels and workshops designed to address practical issues that lie outside the scope of the writing workshop.

Key Features

Our faculty members consider it a privilege to teach in such a community, and our invitation to successful candidates to join our MFA community is an equal privilege and should be regarded as such.

We do all that we can to mentor our MFA students to successful lives as writers; in return we ask that they contribute something of value to our writing community.
