#mfa applications

organizing my digital life a bit and discovered these websites i bookmarked while i was researching MFA programs. i thought i’d share them here in case any prospective creative writing MFA applicants might find them useful.

while i’m at it: the book “the creative writing MFA handbook” was also extremely useful and informative (especially for someone like me, who didn’t study creative writing in undergrad and knew nothing about grad school in this field).
