NORTHWEST INSTITUTE OF LITERARY ARTS
WHIDBEY WRITERS WORKSHOP
CATALOG, 2009-2011
Director's Greeting & Certification
Welcome to the Whidbey Writers Workshop, a program of the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts.
This MFA Program is the first in this country--and perhaps in the world--to be offered not by a college or university, but by an organization of writers. In this, it resembles the many free-standing arts institutions offering degrees in music, art, dance, and theatre.
The MFA you'll read about in this Catalog is one of the most flexible low-residency MFAs around. Most other brief-residency programs require fifteen-credit "blocks" each term and must be completed in two years. Ours offers five-credit individual courses so that students may work at their own pace, taking from two to six years to complete the program.
I hope to see you at our intensive 10-day residencies here on beautiful Whidbey Island. Whether or not you decide to come to Whidbey, keep writing.
Yours,
Wayne Ude
