About

Our goal for NowWhatMFA.com is to maintain an ongoing dialogue about the writing life. We want to share your ideas, opinions and experiences to help inspire our visitors to make creative writing a permanent and productive part of their lives. To this end, we'll be adding new guest articles on a regular basis. Published guest articles will be considered for inclusion in future editions of "Now What? The Creative Writer's Guide to Success After the MFA."
