We’re proud to announce our most recent cohort of MFA graduates. To celebrate this significant accomplishment, we’ve compiled a special showcase to highlight the exceptional creative work produced by our graduates.
The Graduate Showcase is a highlighted section of our website featuring profiles of our MFA grads in support of their publication and production goals. Each profile includes a photo, a brief bio and a summary of the graduate’s thesis project. We’ve included a contact function to allow agents, editors or producers to connect with graduates if they’re interested in knowing more about a thesis project.
Our spring 2026 showcase includes 15 MFA graduates with thesis projects in graphic forms, screenplay, memoir, fiction, writing for stage, and writing for young adult.
