Speaking of the Converse low-res MFA, where I just was for
10 days…this bit of news from our director, poet Rick Mulkey:
MFA Information Session for Prospective Students
The Converse College Low Residency MFA program will offer an
information session on Thursday, January 29 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Ezell
Conference Room 101on the Converse College campus.
Those individuals living
outside of the region who are interested in learning more about our program may
participate through Google Chat.
The session will provide interested writers
information on South Carolina's only low residency MFA program in creative
writing. The Converse College Low Residency MFA offers students opportunities
to focus in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, plus opportunities to pursue
internships in publishing and editing through our C. Michael Curtis Publishing
Fellowship at Hub City Press.
In addition, Converse MFA students may
participate in editing opportunities with the program's national online
literary magazine South 85 Journal, and develop teaching experience with our
online and traditional classroom Teaching Assistant positions.
Information on
the application process, the recent outcomes and publishing successes of our
graduates, and an opportunity to speak with the MFA program director, Rick
Mulkey, and several current MFA students will take place during the session.
