Visitors
MFA students work with each faculty writer in their genre as well as with visiting writers. The program features at least one distinguished Writer-in-Residence in each genre for one semester each year and hosts another prominent writer, editor, or agent who meets with students for intensive one-on-one manuscript reviews.
