You don't need a MFA to be a writer, but if you're interested check out our program. GAships, a beautiful lake, lots of snow, great faculty, peers who write about ghosts, robots, cowboys, and the Dunkin Donuts post apocalypse. Yeah, we're cool like that. nmu.edu/english/mfa-creative…

Passages North has always championed work that experiments with the page, which is why we’ve opened up a new submission category: the visual essay. We’re looking for visually striking work that challenges the conventional ways of reading. Send us something cool.
