You can take your writing anywhere. Now you can take a workshop anywhere, too! Join us in our online classrooms this summer for six weeks of high quality instruction. Polish off your perfect crime story with Steph Cha. If you've got a sci-fi, horror, or fantasy story you're dying to write, join Alyssa Wong's speculative short fiction workshop. Or ignite your creativity with Bonnie Nadzam's generative class. Each class is specially designed by the instructor, so wherever you are in your writing life, you'll find a perfect fit here! www.centerforfiction.org

Find Your Audience. Cultivate inspiring relationships with fellow-writers at Lesley’s low-residency MFA in Creative Writing. You’ll stay in Cambridge, Massachusetts—a capital of creative culture—during your 9-day residencies designed to move your writing forward. You’ll pursue interdisciplinary study, in the form of internships, study abroad, or independent study, as a spur for new ideas. And you’ll put your pieces before prominent publishers, agencies, and literary figures who, as masters of their craft and passionate mentors, will give you the tough love you need to bring your writing to the world.

Join us on a creative journey and work toward the completion of your master’s degree and a publishable work of literature. Study fiction, poetry, nonfiction, or travel writing with award-winning faculty-authors in inspiring locations across Europe. The program unites gifted student-authors from around the world for three 15-day intensive workshops, held during the first two weeks of July in locations that are rich in culture and literary significance: Dublin, Ireland; Barcelona, Spain; and Vienna, Austria. The remainder of your studies take place on your time and in your home. Visit mfa.cedarcrest.edu to learn more and apply.
