The MFA in Creative Nonfiction program announces three new courses

The Book Proposal (CNF 633) provides students with the opportunity to draft a book proposal for their MFA manuscript under the one-on-one supervision of a writing professional with publishing experience.

Research & Reporting (CNF 625) allows students to conduct in-depth research, reporting, and interviews under the one-on-one supervision of an MFA faculty member or another writing professional.

The Reported Memoir (CNF 635) lets students conduct in-depth research and interviews under the one-on-one supervision of an MFA faculty member or another writing professional familiar with the various databases, documents, and resources that can provide material to both enrich a memoir and enable students to verify the accuracy of their material.

Joining the faculty to teach these new courses are Mark Rotella, a senior editor at Publishers Weekly; Mike Sager, a writer-in-large for Esquire; Joy Tutela, an agent with the David Black Literary Agency; Joanne Wyckoff, an agent with the Carol Mann Agency; and Webster Younce, who has been an editor at such publishing houses as Henry Holt, Houghton Mifflin, Random House, Alfred A. Knopf, and Picador USA. Members of the MFA program's Core faculty will also be teaching the new courses.
