The Warren Wilson Low-residency MFA Program, located outside of Asheville in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, offers disciplined writers a unique and practical format that enables our students to simultaneously pursue a degree in creative writing, while still maintaining the responsibilities of adult life.
Every six months, students from across the globe gather here on campus to form a cohesive, non-competitive community that offers camaraderie, direction, and inspiration.
An alternative to the wholly residential workshop, the program is structured to meet students' needs, to help them recognize specific strengths and address specific weaknesses in their work, and to encourage them to see themselves as active participants in the creation and study of literature.
"I could go on and on about the individual attention, the rigorous standards, the emphasis on self-direction, the variety of perspectives and styles, the absence of egos and competition, the above-all focus on the work."
