ronnyk Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Curious to see if any genre writers are pursuing MFAs (I know you're out there) and what schools did you target? I do know the hazards of wanting to write more commercial/genre fiction in an MFA program, as I got a BFA in Writing at Brooklyn's Pratt Institute, but I've been able to find a few schools with genre-minded professors. They are: (for genre) U Kansas NC State (writing for children/YA) New School Hamline There are more children/YA programs, but those are the two I landed on. Hamline has a traditional MFA program as well as a Children's MFA program, and they let their traditional students do a semester with the children bunch, which I think is excellent. Anyway, writing for children/YA is as close to genre as a program is willing to label, I believe. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heliogabalus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Queens College (CUNY) doesn't have any writing profs specializing in genre, but they are pretty much open to everything, and some of the English profs are interested in genre or write genre stuff.
