So much appreciation for your teaching through MFA Lore, and for making the craft of creative writing accessible to people like me who's never gotten an MFA degree. Your gentle voice of encouragement and wise advice make it less intimidating for me to dip my toes into creative writing. I'm honored that you mentioned my Substack. A big tragedy has derailed my writing practice, but I hope to regain inspiration again in the near future. And your Substack will certainly give me the inspiration I need to write on!

Aimee, I am delighted that you are giving MFA Lore top billing. As a writer who never got a MFA I find Substacks like yours to be invaluable in providing a complementary education to all I have learned in my own experience as a working writer of fiction and non-fiction for 30+ years. And I am honored to be mentioned in your recommendations above.

Thank you so much for the mention, much appreciated. I look forward to reading the other Stacks you listed. It must be hard that your college is closing, but you seem to be embracing the 'when one door closes, another opens' idea. It all sounds very interesting, and I will continue to look forward to your posts. All the best.
