Creative Writing Prompts Straight Out of Grad School

Picture
Last year, the editors that I work with and I set out to write a writer’s reference book that delivers poetry “writing prompts” only found at the illustrious MFA level.

Of course, many of us are or have encountered the MFA and walked away with little more than a degree and a manuscript. Yes, yes, I know those are GREAT! But what many of us also walk out with are loads of student loans and zero teaching experience.

How the hell are we supposed to get a teaching job with no teaching experience? Anyways while I am grateful for the connections that I made and the book that I’ve produced, I could have done it without the degree…part of my younger self feels a little tricked into the “it’s necessary” speech given to me by other mentors., but hey, it is what it is, right? After all, I am still writing and I am still doing the same job that I was doing prior to entering the MFA program…so, life is still smiling on me.

Synopsis
For poets and writers who cannot afford or do not want to change their entire lives to write. The exercises were developed from real workshop writing exercises, many of which came from esteemed MFA programs. We came up with a little over 50 exercises, enough for once per week.

If you are interested in supporting small presses and writers, then definitely give it a try. It can be purchased as an electronic copy or physical book.
