I know FAU...I went to FIU(undergrad)! South Florida actually has a GREAT poetry scene. The Palm Beach Poetry Festival is amazing and inspiring! Then further south in Miami is the Miami Book Fair. I forecast good times ahead for you down there lol
Thanks! JayTee, I'm glad to hear South Florida has some really cool stuff going for it! As a film nerd, one of the first things I did was find out that Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami each have a film festival.
Emily, I think I'm really looking to figure out how to best organize my ideas... I have a lot of unfinished pieces and vague ideas but struggle with putting together something complete. I think having lots of workshop and pressure will really help.
Hey Ashley! I just accepted an offer of admission to the MFA program at FAU, and am really excited. I was hoping I could get in touch with you to ask your advice on a few points, if you wouldn't mind. Please shoot me an email at cecoll87@gmail.com if you have a moment. Looking forward to hearing from you!

ReplyDeleteWelcome, Ashley! I liked your comment about your writing not knowing where it wants to go - an MFA program will definitely give it some ideas :)

Ooops, I realize you are fiction and I was raving about the poetry scene. Still, there's good stuff down there! lol
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about life in Boca! Let us know how your visit goes!
ReplyDeleteAshley Brooke! Looking forward to reading about your awesome time in Florida :)
ReplyDeleteIt's cool. I enjoy poetry! A place that loves its poetry hopefully also loves its fiction!
