Our two-year, low-residency program allows students to live anywhere and work a full-time job. We never allow the number of students to exceed 65 total about 16 per cohort so our students develop close and sustaining relationships with faculty during our intensive weeklong residencies in the summer and winter. During the rest of the year, our students work with faculty one on one, receiving thorough, regular editorial letters supplemented with video calls.<br>Our full-time faculty members have won numerous awards, published books with major publishing houses and received international acclaim in every literary category from young adult to lyric essay to crime. Their work appears in such forums as The New Yorker, Harper's, The New York Times Magazine and Best American Short Stories.<br>Our alumni include a Pulitzer Prize finalist, a Guggenheim Fellow, a Whiting Award winner, and numerous other authors whose work is published by major publishing houses. <br>Our faculty members, often referred to as mentors, work to help each student find a literary voice, master their craft and produce a book-length manuscript of high literary quality.
