to any of you interested in one day getting an MFA in creative writing, my professor showed me a really good website called awpwriter.org that lets you filter MFA programs based on your own criteria and see an overview of the faculty. it’s a good tool for narrowing down what schools you’re interested in. his other advice was that it’s not a degree worth going into debt for so all of the most reputable programs will provide tuition coverage/stipend, something else to look out for as you research.
