Laurie Said:

What's a good MFA program (Creative Writing) to apply to?

We Answered:

A great guide is available at the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (link below). They won't list them all, but they'll provide you with a core group of reputable programs you can search by state. You can do some sifting by genre preference (if you search the web for "MFA poetry" you'll get different results than you might for "MFA playwriting") as well. I've heard good things about a number of programs, but most of the referrals depended on the writers/artists in residence and not the program itself. If there's an author you particularly admire, you might use him or her as a point of origin.
