UIUC’s three-year MFA nurtures fiction, poetry, and creative-nonfiction voices through intimate workshops, interdisciplinary seminars, and editorial practicums at *Ninth Letter*. Students teach undergrad writing, curate reading series, and complete a publishable book-length thesis guided by prizewinning faculty. Cross-genre electives in digital storytelling, translation, and comics craft expand possibilities, while visiting-writer residencies connect mentees to agents and editors.
