It’s that time of year again: the Program is seeking your updates to the Alumni Bibliography—which currently lists 1500+ alum publications! In addition to being a point of pride and a source for your reading pleasure, the MFA Program uses the list for accreditation purposes and for recruitment. You can always view the alumni list here: https://www.wwcmfa.org/alumni-bibliography/

Please help us keep this list as complete as possible by uploading your new publication information through a form on the site:

https://docs.google.com/a/smith.edu/forms/d/1YazT-pftQh3Syg9q34Iesy26vqqsQDWAP11dFdeos1U/viewform

The form will ask for your:

  • first name, last name,
  • the year in which you graduated,
  • the genre in which you graduated, fiction or poetry,
  • whether you graduated from Warren Wilson or Goddard,
  • the title of your book,
  • the name of your publisher,
  • year of publication, and specify novel, short fiction, novella, book of poems, chapbook, anthology (of which you were editor), translated poetry, translated fiction, or “other” (explain).

Please also share any additional information regarding awards the publication received.

Thanking you in advance,

Patrick Donnelly

The MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College is pleased to announce the return of the Beebe Fellowship, available only to its alumni or to Goddard graduates from 1976-80.  Originally established in 1997, and last awarded in 2016, the Beebe Fellowship provides an opportunity for a year of undergraduate teaching in Warren Wilson College’s Creative Writing Department.  The coming year’s fellowship will have a concentration in fiction, teaching the equivalent of five 4-credit courses, although all undergraduate CW faculty teach broadly.  Affordable campus housing is part of the compensation package for this role, and there is the possibility of a second-year appointment. Previous teaching experience is required.
 
Additional details are provided in the job posting. First consideration will be given to those who apply by March 26, 2023. 
Hi! I’m Daniel, a 2020 Fiction grad and staffing coordinator for AWP Seattle. This will be my fourth AWP (including the ghostly 2020 San Antonio spectacle) and I’m so excited to once again be tabling for Warren Wilson! Talking to prospective students about my experience in the program is such a joy, eclipsed only by running into alums or faculty at the table who are just as eager to gush about their experiences, too. I hope you’ll join me in signing up for a slot or two and sharing your perspectives with the next generation of Wallys. Look forward to seeing you there!
