Grad school Comparison~

i found a database that shows me every MFA program in the country for MFA in Creative writing. I'm going to look by state and then find the ones that allow genre/popular fiction. I am only going to include those that are fully funded. I have sent emails to all  that do not clearly state wether or not they allow genre fiction.

"Hello, 

I was curious as to what the stand point of your MFA in creative writing has on genre/popular fiction applicants?

thank you!

Lisa Sawyer"

i will contact the schools through a new email.
