Vermont College of Fine Arts MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults
The MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults at Vermont College of Fine Arts is a low-residency program built on faculty mentorship, with residencies held in Valencia, California. Students write picture books and fiction or nonfiction for young readers, study craft through critical essays, and commit at least 25 hours a week to their work. It suits writers who have already spent time on craft and know what they want from a graduate degree.
