The Writing Craft

Fairfield University’s 2-year low residency MFA in Creative Writing Program leads to a Master of Fine Arts with concentrations in fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and screen writing. The program offers opportunities to study and develop the writing craft under the guidance of skilled and caring faculty members.

In “The Writing Craft” section of this blog, current students, prospective students, and the greater literary community are invited to discuss topics on the craft of writing. Faculty contributors get the conversation going by picking a theme for others to consider and respond.

Check out the latest topics and visit or revisit previous conversations on the writing craft, and don’t forget to share your responses, thoughts, and recommendations!
