Just What the World Needs: Another MFA Program!

Flannery O’Connor, asked if she thought writing programs ruined writers, responded, “Not enough of them.” So why add yet another MFA to the pile? And why JTS? Author and core faculty member Shalom Auslander and Dean Lisa Springer discuss the unique approach of the JTS MFA in Creative Writing, one rooted in and informed by our people’s historically “outsider” status, a program that eschews dogma and reverence and seeks instead to encourage the bravery and play that results in vibrant, disruptive, groundbreaking work. Or, at the very least, doesn’t put folks to sleep. ABOUT THE SERIES: Truth or Fiction? The JTS MFA in Three Acts The JTS MFA in Creative Writing is built around conversation about hard truths and strange fictions—about writing, teaching, failure, ambition, and why anyone keeps doing this in the first place. This three-part online series invites you into those conversations, with faculty and students speaking honestly about craft, community, and what it really means to commit to the work.
