The Whidbey Writers Workshop low-residency MFA Program is the first to be offered not by a college or university, but by an organization of writers.  This program has been designed for writers by writers. Applications are currently being accepted in the four areas of Children's Literature, Creative Nonfiction, Fiction, and Poetry. Because we offer individual 5-credit courses rather than 15-credit "blocks," ours is a flexible program allowing from one to six years for completion,. We offer a mix of online workshops and individual mentoring, with courses in craft and directed readings in specific genres. Each semester of online classes is preceded by ten days of intensive Residency on beautiful Whidbey Island, Washington.
