MFA Lore
Writer In the World
Writers in Conversation
Newsletters

I'm going to let you in on the craft and publishing secrets I shared with my MFA students over 15 years as a faculty advisor. And each week, I'll answer questions from paid subscribers, too. If you're working on a memoir, novel, short story, or other creative nonfiction, this newsletter is for you!

Formerly writerintheworld.com , this is a collaborative site for MFA alumni & faculty– to share words and wisdom about everything we are doing in the world.
If you would like to become a contributor to this section, please send a message to Aimee Liu.
