Fire Point This project is believed to be defunct. (March 2012) About Fire Point seeks to publish the best work of the MFA community. It is our belief that MFA programs attract talented and committed writers, many of whom will be part of the next phase in American literature. Fire Point‘s role as a showcase for emerging talent fills a niche in the literary landscape that will reveal the original and engaging work currently being produced.
