Writing for Young Readers, MFA
We understand how important your dream of becoming an author is. The University of San Francisco’s low-residency MFA in Writing for Young Readers is designed to help you hone your voice, elevate your craft, and build a professional career and life-changing community.
Whether you are interested in learning how to write fiction or nonfiction, picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, YA novels, graphic novels, or short stories, we offer instruction in every form and genre.
Our brand-new program has assembled the best writing faculty in the industry: winners of the Newbery Medal, the Michael L. Printz Award, the International Latino Book Award, and more, and with years of teaching experience at VCFA, Hamline, and Lesley.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How to write children’s books faster and more powerfully than you could in any other way
- How to build a framework for learning that you can use to improve your narrative skills far beyond graduation
- How find an agent, how to publish a book, and how to make a career as a writer.
And we’ll help you build a supportive writing community for life.
