Roosevelt University's MFA in Creative Writing The official page of the Roosevelt University MFA in Creative Writing. Curious about the program? Want to get involved? You've come to the right place!

The Roosevelt MFA program provides students with multiple opportunities for collaboration both inside and outside the University to better prepare you for the professional communities you’ll encounter when you finish the degree. Through our Writer-in-Residence and visiting writer series, we bring six writers a year to campus to discuss and read from their works, workshop student manuscripts, and m

entor students in the writing life itself. Recent and current visiting writers include: Suzanne Scanlon, Lindsay Hunter, Audrey Petty, Goldie Goldbloom, China Mieville, Kevin Brockmeier, Roxane Gay, Amelia Gray, Eula Biss, John Dufresne, Ben Fountain, Albert Goldbarth, Kathleen Rooney, Heather Sellers, Christine Sneed, and Patrick Somerville. We also offer students teaching internships and a credential for the teaching of writing; publishing internships with the Oyez Review; and community writing internships with Chicago nonprofit and arts organizations.
