Faculty

Rick Barot is thrilled to announce the launch of Post-MFA Mentorships now being offered to alumni. Information can be found here. This year, ten faculty members have agreed to be considered for these mentorships: Fleda Brown, David Cates, Kevin Clark, Greg Glazner, Adrianne Harun, David Huddle, Brenda Miller, Scott Nadelson, Peggy Shumaker, and Rick Barot.  If you are completing a manuscript that might benefit from the incisive help of any of these faculty members, this is your chance.  As noted on the website, each mentorship lasts for six months and can begin at any time of your choosing.  Each year, a new roster of faculty will be available for the mentorships.
