City University of Hong Kong MFA Open House Sat Jan 22

WHY DO YOU NEED A CREATIVE WRITING MFA?

You can't learn writing in school, right? If you have a good story you just write it, right? Well maybe, but if so, why are some of the world's best writers today graduates of MFA or MA in creative writing programmes? Also, why are some of the world's best writers so eager to teach and visit MFA programmes?

At City University of Hong Kong, we established a two-year, low-residency, international MFA focused on writing of Asia in English because we believe in the intensive creative experience such a programme fosters. You work individually with our faculty of award winning writers. You also come together at brief "residencies" for workshops, classes and lectures with the like-minded - writers who care about both the art and craft of making good literature. Our students come from all over the world and each year, we accept a small, select group of writers for our degree programme.
