Teaching opportunities

Yes. Some applicants write to us with many questions about teaching, being trained as a teacher, can we find you work as a creative writing teacher . . . We are not here to make creative writing teachers. We are here to temper and improve poets and authors. We'll train you as a T.A., and—believe us—there'll be plenty of teaching to come if writing is your path, but this is first and foremost a two-year literary fine arts program.
