In Seminar I students will demonstrate what they have learned in the MA in Writing program by proposing and completing the initial stages of a major project in a genre of their choosing. This project, which will be completed in Seminar II, may have a creative emphasis (fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction) or a scholarly or research-based emphasis. Working with peers, under the mentorship of two faculty readers, students will develop their skills in writing, project management, and the personal and professional strategies necessary to sustain a writerly life.
