MFA Crash Course: Days 9 and 10
You will notice that there are no tips posted here for Days 9 and 10. The last two days of my residency were a whirlwind of farewell meals, readings, and homework. But no lectures. Spalding posts audio versions of all the lectures on Blackboard, so we have the chance to hear those lectures we missed out on. I planned to include notes from those, but they are yet to be posted.
In lieu of more tips, these last two days of class are kind of like a teacher’s in-service day. You get prizes without actually having to learn anything. All you have to do is:
1. Follow my blog.
2. Post a comment by midnight tonight PST. If there’s something I didn’t discuss, or a question you have about MFA programs, let me know.
3. Win a $10 Amazon card or a $10 Barnes & Noble card. I’ll be giving away one of each so there will be two winners.
4. You will also be entered to win a query crit from agent Laura Bradford or a ten-page crit from author Eleanor Morse.
It’s that easy! I will announce the winners of the crits on my blog tomorrow. Good luck!

Thanks for doing this. I better go and review your previous days. I’ve been missing them because you post at a different time to what I follow.

Watching you go through this, and a few other friends who have workshopped recently, I can see the appeal of these intense writing experiences!

I ditto Susan Kaye Quinn. These workshops seem intense but oh so awesome. Wish there were some in my area. Thank you for sharing all you’ve learned. It’s been awesome. I missed a few, comment on some, but read almost all…and I took notes.
Thank you, Corrine
