Overview
Students may choose their mentors, and the program focuses on an individualized curriculum and instruction.
To help our students with the publishing process, we invite editors, literary agents, and other publishing professionals to the residencies. Most of our students publish in literary magazines while still enrolled in the program, and many of our alumni have published books.
