@intrepidusink thank you!

The Writing Popular Fiction (WPF) program teaches writers to create and market fiction that sells, with a focus on genre. This MFA program is low-residency with the majority of work being online. Students meet on campus for 1 week every January & June! https://t.co/SNl0KUE2tv

@intrepidusink The program was the brainchild of @LeeTobinMcClain and co-founded by @albertwendland

At the time (1999), it was one of the first, maybe even the first, to focus exclusively on popular fiction, and to encourage students to write a genre manuscript for their thesis! https://t.co/IPStbdg0QN

@intrepidusink The passion of the #shuwpf community is amazing. Students love the program so much, they come back as alumni and meet up with everyone again! The enthusiasm for writing & celebrating genre paired with dedicated mentors makes this MFA program welcoming and special. https://t.co/MZ1BEJ85DE

@intrepidusink Workshops are built around having a mutual respect of genres, which is useful because writers can learn from any genre! Understanding how to both provide helpful critiques and apply feedback to strengthen a manuscript are critical skills in the writing world! ✏️ https://t.co/HUWq3NGYL6

@intrepidusink Thank you! My time in the program was filled with great mentors, modules, workshops, and more that's gifted me a strong foundation I continue to build my career on.

@intrepidusink We're lucky to have mentors who build bonds with students through exciting modules. This June we’ll have a hands-on forensic anthropology class, a critic’s guide (@paulgoatallen) to writing an unputdownable novel, & a session on writing a series w/ Maria V Snyder! https://t.co/gaL7OuPOfD
