"Applicants who have previously completed all or part of an advanced degree in creative writing at another university should include a separate letter explaining what special circumstances lead them to pursue an MFA at Brown (this should be uploaded with your personal statement – but should start a new page, and carry a header of 'Work toward a master's degree in a related field'). Without this explanatory letter, the faculty will not review the application. (The primary accepted basis for completing a second advanced degree in writing is the stated desire to pursue work in a different genre.)

Do not disrespect Jess. They work tirelessly, and for free, to moderate a 1.8k person Facebook group. They help the literary community. You, on the other hand, are an anonymous, racist troll. Go on and tell the class about what sort of "black things" you think one can't say in Draft. There's a reason you're hiding behind the term "PC" in describing Draft. There's a reason a whole separate POC Draft page exists. It's not "censorship" to curtail racist speech.

There will be! I'll make sure to let y'all know once it's up.

Hi, all. Just one more, day-of reminder that The Workshop is hosting a free panel for MFA applicants and you can still register over at readtheworkshop.com/events/ And I'll be generally around if anyone has questions about CU Boulder--just @ me. Last year I started up an Ask An MFA Alum thread on here, so if you'd like a tiny bit of intel, there's already some out there. Feel free to add more questions over there or over here, and I'll get to them ASAP.

Solid reason! (frame of reference: replier hopes one day Ottessa Moshfegh will love them back)

Brown has a first year fellowship with no teaching and a $26k stipend, ~$3k summer stipend between the first and second years, for starters.

Hi, Grad Cafe! Popping back in with a reminder that The Workshop's free I Applied to MFAs: What's next? webinar will be happening one week from today. See below for details, and let me know if you have any questions. See you there! --- The Workshop will be hosting a *free* I Applied To MFAs: What's Next? panel for MFA applicants (as well as anyone out there who sat out this cycle, but is thinking of applying down the line) on Sunday, March 14th from 4-5:30PM Eastern. Our panelists are graduates in poetry, fiction, CNF, and hybrid-genre writing from the University of Alabama, Brown, Cornell, Indiana University, Northern Michigan University, UNC-Wilmington, and Warren Wilson. Members of The Workshop team with MFAs from OSU and CU Boulder will also be in the chat helping answer questions, and the event will be spearheaded by moderator Eshani Surya (U of Arizona). We'll be answering questions on how to proceed once you've heard back from your programs, no matter your results. Full details as well as links to our registration and Q&A forms are up on The Workshop's site at readtheworkshop.com/events.

Gotcha! We'll be having a Q&A following the panel, but unfortunately our panelists aren't going to be able to stick around after that for an informal discussion. Last spring when I participated as a panelist, someone in the audience utilized the contact form on my website to reach out to me with follow up questions, so that might be the best way to go about reaching out to anyone you'd like to learn more from. Happy to answer any further questions about the webinar!

Yay, thank you for signing up and for encouraging! When you say we could maybe chat afterwards, do you mean me or the panelists?
