Read fellow alumni books, check out where they are publishing and most importantly, celebrate each other's successes.
What kind of work are they publishing? Some have published young adult, middle grade, graphic novels. Some are New York Times bestsellers. Some have won prestigious poetry prizes. Read about them here.
By becoming a better reader, I became a much better writer. In the MFA in Poetry program I was not only exposed to a diverse range of texts, I also learned creative ways of approaching even the most experimental ones. This reading stretched my writing and helped me uncover the more raw, authentic layers of my own voice and rhythm.
