Thinking about an MFA?
Fishtrap is excited to announce a new collaboration with Eastern Oregon University to provide a truly one-of-its-kind literary experience for writers. Unique, affordable, and rigorous, the Eastern Oregon University low residency MFA in Creative Writing is where your writing practice and intellectual curiosity will find a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive community of writers. Students enrolled in the program will also attend the Summer Fishtrap Gathering of Writers in July.
Have you taken a Summer Fishtrap Weeklong Workshop in the past? You may be eligible to earn credits that can be applied toward your MFA. Contact EOU to learn more.
Fishtrap and Eastern Oregon University share a core belief that creative individuals are an under-appreciated and under-used resource. The creative makers among us have much to offer their communities and we commit ourselves therefore to fostering that creativity. It is our belief, too, that finding community-based solutions to the real problems communities face can and should be a collaboration in which the creativity of artists and writers play vital, enduring roles for enriching the lives of all.
