Hi Are you looking for a Professional youtube thumbnail designer and video SEO expert?
very insightful
Loving this new loookkkkk😍😍😍😍
Wait….when did you cut your hair??? I’ve missed a lot. Gosh you look good ❤
Thank you Audrey for this video. It was a great help and insight into the journey of just applying for MFA programs! 🤣 I subscribed to your channel in the hope that there will be more guidance as I look for the right location, program and institutional support for the outcome I am seeking. peace. 😌🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🩵
This is really really good.
proud of u 💗
I’m in the health science field. I have always had a desire to write professionally. I have written private fiction works with themes around the slave trade but never published them anywhere. Do you think I stand any chance in applying for an MFA?

Oh definitely! It's great that you have experience. Like I said, I'd recommend publishing something if you can, just for your credentials. However I know people in the program who didn't even have any prior publications.

Thank you for this video!!!! How is Cornell's MA in creative writing?
Your laughter is contagious ❤
Haha thanks!
How many mfa programmes would you recommend applying to? I feel like it probably doesnt make sense to send in loads of applications…?
Great question. From speaking with others, it seems 3-5 might be a good average. People definitely do more though. I personally applied to only Iowa because I only had money for one application fee LOL
Thanks audrey! Really appreciate your videos
You are so welcome!
eloquence, 🏆❤️.

Thank you so much for sharing!!! This video was so insightful. I am a bit confused about one of the requirements for the IOWA’s writers workshop…. It says we have to mail physical copies of our application as opposed to submitting online, how did you get past this requirement?
I found someone in the US to do it for me!
This was so calming to watch! Would love to see more of these
You bet!
