How Does Algonkian Differ From An MFA Approach?
Algonkian emphasizes writing-to-get-published, creation in the context of heart, wit, and market. We teach writers to think pragmatically about the development of their ms while retaining their core values for the work. Our motto is “From the Heart, but Smart.” College MFA programs typically do not prep a writer for the cold reality of the current publishing climate. Many of our most grateful writers are graduates of MFA programs.
