Submit your work to the Friends of Writers Forum

Alumni and Faculty from the MFA Program for Writers are welcome to submit their publication news directly to the Forum.

We would love to see more contributions of the following :: 

  1. Submissions from pre-2000 alums
  2. Appreciations written in memory of deceased alums
  • Short excerpts from newly published poems, stories, and creative nonfiction (including journalism features) from alumni and faculty, ALWAYS linked to the full piece that appears on another website. The complete piece MUST be fully accessible on a DIRECT link and NOT be behind a paywall.
  • Newly published interviews with alums or faculty or between alums and faculty (with the same criteria listed above).
  • We immediately publish news about current alumni or faculty who have been awarded major national prizes.
  • A “quarterly (or so) digest” published news of all book-length publications.  The digest also lists  poems, stories, and essays not available on-line.
  • Other recognitions, including regional or local prize awards and prizes.
  • News about the MFA Program and about Friends of Writers, including special programs and opportunities for alums provided by FOW.

An author who wishes to have work excerpted must seek and provide that permission; we do not have the staff to make such requests. When the authors of new books provide written permission from their publishers, we publish short excerpts or individual poems. Under similar arrangements we have also published full stories or poems from print journals. (but this has only been requested and permitted on one occasion since the blog was founded).

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK

Please use the form below to submit your work. The “quarterly digest” often only has four or five items. We always hold it until we have at least four items. If we receive more news, we will publish it more often.

Be aware that submissions that come in around the time of the residencies when the blog staff is otherwise engaged sometimes falls through the cracks. Please re-submit. You can also contact us through the MFA office.

SUBMIT YOUR WORK TO THE FOW FORUM
