We are an independent organization outside of academia. Though we do not offer credit hours toward a degree, we do offer a personal, rigorous, and flexible relationship with our writers. Please feel welcome to reach out to our Director, josh (at) pocket-mfa.com, any time with questions or concerns. 

To begin:

1. Choose your mentor. Our Spring 2023 Cohort will have five Mentors, for Fiction, Poetry, Creative Nonfiction, Flash Fiction, and Screenwriting.

2. Apply. Every writer can apply for free to be placed with a Mentor of their choice. These applications will look to balance the needs of the writer’s accessibility and the program’s rigorous standards.

3. Join your writing group. Four-to-ten writers will be selected for each Mentor. You’ll spend the week before launch preparing for the course and meeting your group.
