Found out I'm waitlisted at Charleston for fiction! Which is a huge surprise, really. I thought it was too late for anything another than a rejection. Emily Rosko wrote to me via email that they are accepting 6 writers this year. Wondering if a spot will open up.. haven't heard much about Charleston in the forum. Wish me luck, I guess!
Congrats! And good luck.

Someone on Draft posted about turning down an offer from Hollins. Didn't specify which genre tho. For those on the waitlist, that means some movement.

University of Florida (fiction) need to get moving, man. They're holding me ransom so badly.

WAITLISTED AT HOLLINS!!!!!!!
I'm almost as happy as when I got admitted off a waitlist. No one deserves a great news more than you do. Here's hoping you eventually get in. ?

Not gonna lie, sometimes I'm impressed by our resident troll's work rate lmao! It's just incredible bearing all that self-inflicted misery with so much fortitude and dedication.

Got in at University of Alabama (Prose) off the waitlist.
This is my first time applying and I felt I got sooooo many things wrong like applying to only two programs and using a style for my SoP that the program's website said specifically not to use. Not to mention how different my writing sample looks now from when I submitted in November, making me feel like I submitted trash.
I can almost say with certainty that I'm going to Alabama cos even though the second program (University of Florida) haven't notified, I don't see any major attraction that can sway me from going to Alabama.
Another L for the "New Yorker test" btw lol

Hummingbird Salamander by Jeff Vandermeer is extremely good.
Thank you!
I'll surely check it out

For a research, I'm looking for books and stories that deal with environmental waste and their impact on communities. Could be realist fiction, science fiction, magical realism, afrofuturism... Any recommendation is welcome.

Does anyone else ever have the perverse urge to write stupid CVS paperbacks under a penname to make money? Like, those harlequin romance ones that they sell for five bucks in the greeting card aisle
There should be better reaction buttons for comments here. Cos this comment here is gold. I definitely have considered this!

I'm waiting to hear from:
- UMass Amherst (interviewed)
- UFlorida
- UNLV
- BU
- Iowa (likely rejection, though I don't think all acceptances have been notified yet, could be wrong)
I got good news from South Carolina, though the stipend isn't the greatest.
I'm also waiting to hear from Florida. I only applied to two schools, Florida and Alabama and I already got on the waitlist for the latter. Actually feels good to see another Florida applicant here, even tho we might be competing against each other. Good luck to us.

hi everyone. long time lurker, first time poster. this is my first time applying to mfa’s. i just graduated college in the fall, so i’m a little new to all this stuff haha. but i got accepted into ohio state and waitlisted at alabama for fiction. i saw someone on draft post about a waitlist for wisconsin-madison and was wondering if anyone here has been accepted to their program.
hope everyone is doing well
First time applicant here too, and I also got waitlisted at Alabama, haha. I'm hoping you'll accept your Ohio offer tho lol

I definitely admire the sense of community on here. The amount of workshopping that's been going around almost feel like we could as well be our own MFA Program (without the funding, of course... and the residency).
@MDP I'd definitely want my email in the spreadsheet.

Yes, workshop offer still standing for anyone interested! I have a lot of spare time and workshopping is one of my favorite things to do, lol.
Anyone who needs this should take up MDP on this offer. They're extremely good at it and they make the whole thing so cool and fun too lol. They could be one of the best at it, I don't care what anyone says. ?

Not mine, somebody else's post on Draft. They got in for fiction. Haven't seen any others yet.
Oh! My bad. That was actually quite clear. Guess I was just in a hyper mood with all this waiting.

This would be a workshop offer for other fiction writers, or are you comfortable working on poetry as well?
I can help, if you would have me. I write fiction (& a tiny bit of poetry) but I read a LOT of poetry and my poet friends have repeatedly remarked that my poetry workshopping is great.

You should by now be familiar with the troll's voice, no matter the accounts/personalities he hides behind. Ogilvy, empathy1 are his more moderate accounts with a little less vitroil to their posts, the third personality being the one that is plain vile, gets repeatedly, and always coming back in new accounts. But I'm convinced all three or more belong to the same person.
