Summer Residency: July 24- Aug 2, 2009
Join our community of engaged and engaging literary professionals with Southern New Hampshire University’s two-year, low-residency Master of Fine Arts in fiction and nonfiction.
Our low-residency program enables you to work on your writing at home and meet with peers, mentors and faculty online. During the summer and winter residencies, you’ll immerse yourself in the writer’s life, meeting with peers and nationally known writers, giving and listening to readings, participating in critiques, and writing in truly inspirational settings that are steeped in literary history.
By the time you graduate, you’ll have a publishable manuscript and be part of a supportive writer’s community.
Our residencies, held on Star Island in the Isles of Shoals in the summer and at the Mountain Grand View Resort in the winter, offer wonderful energy, a sense of adventure and an experience that will nurture your creativity and provide opportunities for quiet reflection, intimacy and inspiration.
