UCLA Extension Online: Preparing for MFA Programs: An Advanced Workshop
April 9 to June 11, 2008

Equally important is the focus on your creative work, which is honed in bi-weekly workshops and via one-to-one rewrites with the instructor, with the goal of ensuring an application packet that is appropriate for your targeted university.

Requirements are a piece up to 3,000 words or for novel, playwriting, and memoir courses, the sample should be an excerpt from the project you plan to work on during the course. Include your, name, address, email and phone #, along with a cover letter, as a word doc or pdf. Submit to writers@uclaextension.edu
