MANUSCRIPTS

Submit a maximum of ten poems totaling no more than 20 pages for the poetry program or a maximum of 40 pages of fiction (double spaced) for the fiction program. Photocopies are acceptable. These manuscripts will not be returned.

AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

As it would be helpful to the Admissions Committees to know something about you, please attach an Autobiographical Statement of 500-1000 words (double spaced), concentrating especially on your background in writing and literature. This is separate from the Statement of Purpose and the Personal History Statement. The aim of the MFA Programs in Writing is to assist accomplished writers in the final stages of their achievement of professionalism in the field of poetry or fiction writing. Although many writers and poets who have graduated from the program also teach, the concern of the program is not to prepare students for teaching careers. The Admissions Committees is interested primarily in your writing. In your Autobiographical Statement you may wish to indicate what you regard as special in your background experience, writers or writing teachers you have studied with, reading which has influenced you as a writer, and the current direction of your writing. In short, we would like to find out as much as possible about your background as a writer in a few pages.
