Spalding Low-Residency MFA
“One of the most productive and fulfilling writing weeks of my life.”
At virtual summer residency, "the week brimmed with faculty and guest lecture options—I chose to explore abstraction, prosody, collage literature, the novel in verse, and narrative modes—as well as workshops, craft lectures, open mic gatherings, faculty readings, and more.
"Our distinguished visiting writer was so engaging and insightful on Zoom that I forgot I was sitting at my kitchen table. (This is my excuse for spilling my water.)
"Just as at in-person residency, I felt the kind of present, focused attention that is the real power of the low-residency MFA—and that led me to Naslund-Mann in the first place. I'm so grateful to have found a program that, beyond just welcoming us as working writers, parent and caregiver writers, or chronically ill or disabled writers, was built for all of us from the beginning."
