University of New Hampshire MFA in Creative Writing
The MFA in Writing at the University of New Hampshire is a two-to-three-year program in Durham with tracks in fiction, narrative nonfiction and poetry. Small workshops and close faculty contact lead to a book-length thesis, and students can edit the online journal Barnstorm, run the Read Free or Die reading series, or teach. It suits writers who want focused mentorship and a close peer community.
