M.F.A. Program

If i have a technical question regarding my online application, whom do i contact.

For technical questions regarding your online application please email  [email protected] .

Can I apply for both fiction and poetry?

If you are applying for both fiction and poetry, our application system allows you to submit a second application for your additional genre. On the main page, where you log in, click on the link, “Start New Application,” to complete a second application. Be sure to indicate in your Personal Statement that you would like to be considered for both fiction and poetry. All other components of the application remain the same.

I applied to the Vanderbilt MFA program last year. Do I need to submit another application?

Yes—all applicants must fill out a new application. 

I was wait listed for admission to the MFA program last year. I want to reapply this year. Should I resubmit the same materials?

You may submit the same transcripts and letters of recommendation, but we encourage you to send a fresh writing sample so the faculty can see how your writing is developing.

My undergraduate grades (GPA) are not as high as I’d like them to be. How much emphasis is placed on my GPA?

The most important component of your application is your Writing Sample. Your GPA is a confirmation of your ability to handle the academic subjects.

If my letters of recommendation arrive at Vanderbilt after the deadline, will my application still be considered?

We understand that sometimes the delivery of your supporting documentation (letters of recommendation) is delayed. If we have not received certain of your supporting materials and we need to see them, we will contact you so you can make sure the materials are sent.

When will I hear if I am accepted?

We try to notify those who are accepted by mid-February, or no later than mid-March.

Are there any tips for the creative statement portion of the application?

Check out  The Aha! Moment , an interview with Director of Creative Writing Kate Daniels.

May I take classes outside my genre (fiction or poetry)?

Yes, MFA students enroll in workshops outside their genre, with the consent of the instructor.

Do you have a Creative Non-Fiction specialization?

No. At this time, Vanderbilt’s areas of specialization are fiction and poetry. We offer one Creative Non-Fiction workshop each year in the spring, which students may take if they are interested in doing so and the instructor agrees.

Do you consider applications in genre-fiction (science fiction, fantasy, mystery writing, children’s literature, and the like)?

No, we do not.

May I meet with a faculty member to discuss the MFA program?

Due to the large volume of applications we receive, we are unable to arrange individual meetings with faculty members in advance of your acceptance into the program. Our website is filled with information about the MFA program; if you have a question that is not addressed on our website, please feel free to email us at  [email protected] . We invite you to campus and arrange meetings with faculty once you have been accepted.

May I talk to one of the current MFA students?

As noted above, we invite all candidates accepted into the Vanderbilt MFA program to campus in the spring so they can meet MFA students and faculty. We do not arrange meetings before then; our MFA students have a heavy workload of writing, attending classes, studying, and teaching, and we do not want to burden them with additional obligations before then. But the visit should give you an ample amount of time to talk with students and faculty alike about what it’s like to attend the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Vanderbilt.

Are there any requirements for those who write letters of recommendation for applicants to the MFA Program?

While there are no set requirements for those who endorse applicants, typically letters of recommendation come from creative writing professors and academics in writing-related disciplines who can speak to an applicant’s ability and potential in the genre in which that person is applying and/or aptitude for graduate study in a rigorous writing program.  Less frequently, recommendations are provided by endorsers with professional connections to applicants, including former and current employers or supervisors, editors, and mentors.

Ph.D. Program

Does your program offer a terminal ma.

We offer an MA en route to the PhD, but we do not admit students to earn the MA only.

When are students admitted to the PhD Program?

We only admit for the Fall Semester. Applications usually open in August with a December 15th Deadline.

Do I need an MA to apply for the PhD?

An MA is not required to apply to our PhD Program. 

What is the funding like for your PhD Students?

Our students don't pay for tuition or fees. They are fully funded for 6 Years with a $34,000 yearly base stipend, with opportunities for University Fellowships on top of the base stipend. Health Insurance is provided as well.

Can I submit my application, even though all my recommendations aren't submitted yet?

Yes. Please submit your application by December 15th, and your recommendations will still come to us whenever they are submitted, even if after the deadline.

Could you tell me more about the Foreign Language Requirement for the degree?

You do not need to be proficient in a foreign language to apply. There is a foreign language exam as part of our program that must be passed before Year 3. You must be able to translate a text from a language of your choosing to English. You will have oportunities to retake the exam as needed. Students usually prepare for these independently, there is no coursework to specifically prepare you for the exam.

Do I need to take an English Language Proficiency Test to be admitted?

If English is not your native language, then you must submit scores for either the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing Service). If you received a degree from an English-speaking institution, let us know and we'll waive this requirement. You may self-report your scores, but must present official scores upon admission.

Do I need to submit GRE scores with my application?

No, we do not require GRE scores.

Full Schedule: Undergraduate Writing Symposium (Thursday, April 7)

3:00-3:10 : welcome from the writing studio, 3:10-3:55 : spotlight panel.

  • Panelists: Jessica Cobbinah (fiction), Rebecca Hall (nonfiction), Kelly Morgan (poetry)

Spotlight Panel - Abstracts and Author Bios

Panel chair, nancy reisman (professor of english), jessica cobbinah: keep this to yourself.

Presenter Bio : Jessica Cobbinah is a member of the class of 2023.

Abstract: For their first major project, two journalism students spend as much time as possible with their assigned partner to write a thousand-word profile on each other. What starts as a simple enough task becomes fraught with secrets and emotions.

Rebecca Hall: The City Never Sleeps, Neither Do I

Presenter Bio : Becca Hall is a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. An English major hailing from Saint James, New York, she draws upon her experiences briefly living in NYC throughout much of her writing. Becca hopes to continue her work with narrative-driven nonfiction in some form after graduation, ideally in service of shifting the conversation on mental illness.

Abstract: Written in the style of a New York Times “Modern Love” column essay, this piece is an exploration of my experiences with bipolar disorder during a sleepless summer in Manhattan. Framed by a tumultuous romantic entanglement, it examines the impact of transparency (and lack thereof) about the condition on relationships.

Kelly Morgan: Appalachian Spring: Creative Writing Honors Thesis

Presenter Bio:  Kelly Morgan serves as editor-in-chief of  The Vanderbilt Review  and president of The McGill Project. She has presented her work at the National Undergraduate Literature Conference, and her writing has appeared in  Blue Route Literary Journal ,  Mosaic Art & Literary Journal , Young Ravens Literary Review , and elsewhere. She has poems forthcoming in Rainy Day Literary Magazine and The Oakland Review .

Abstract: These poems are a sample pulled from my creative writing honors thesis, a poetry collection that tells a survival narrative based in Appalachian identity. The poems in the thesis focus on fraught bodily experiences, and they argue that we can use language as a tool to reconnect with our own bodies, and ultimately, to choose to continue living. I draw particularly on ideas from linguistic theory and new materialist philosophies to make this argument.

4:00-4:45 : Breakout Rooms

  • Breakout A (Nonfiction) Panelists:  Rebecca Hall, Louisa Bienstock, and Alden Tetreault
  • Breakout B (Poetry) Panelists:  Zhi-Ying Chua, Kelly Morgan, Kaitlyn Hammond, Jonathan Quiros

Breakout Panel A - Abstracts and Author Bios

Panel chair, caroline stevens (mfa candidate), louisa bienstock: a squash tournament, a man, and the tricky trade-off that followed.

Presenter Bio:  Louisa Bienstock is a member of the class of 2023.

Abstract:  This piece centers upon my experience navigating a complex relationship with a coach in high school. Throughout the narrative, I recount my struggles to come to terms with how his presence has influenced my life and the person I have become.

Alden Tetreault: All the Things I Never Told You

Presenter Bio: Alden is a member of the class of 2023.

Abstract: This is a piece of creative nonfiction about my relationship with my mother as if told directly to her. It covers themes such as loss and grief when exploring the effects of my father’s early passing, specifically how it has affected my ability, or inability, to communicate my love and feelings.

Breakout Panel B - Abstracts and Author Bios

Panel chair, hayes cooper (mfa candidate), zhi-ying chua: “empire a call away”.

Presenter Bio:  Zhi-Ying Chua is a member of the class of 2023.

Abstract:  The poem “Empire is a Call Away” seeks to engage, in a limited way, with the repercussions of U.S. imperialism and globalization—the latter a process that, as Maulana Karenga reminds us, “has its roots in the classical period of imperialist expansion”—while reflecting on how language affects expressions of love; centering close familial relationships; and paying attention to how both of these may shift, subtly, as a result of distance and time. The title is ironic: the effects of imperialism, and the closely related, often intertwined legacies of colonialism, are virtually inescapable. They are audible in the power that English holds on a global scale; deeply felt by workers around the world, especially workers of color, who have been made even more vulnerable to exploitation during the process of globalization; and tangible in disparities in access to food, made convenient for some through the heightened exploitation of workers in and the material resources of the Global South.

Kaitlyn Hammond: A Mind on Trial

Presenter Bio: Kaitlyn Hammond is a fiction writer and poet from New Jersey. She is the author of two poetry collections, The Sociopath Stumbles Home  and  Just Be Human Today , under the name K.B. Hammond. Kaitlyn is a junior pre-law student studying Psychology and Creative Writing. When she isn’t writing, you can find Kaitlyn in a park drinking kombucha and reading a mystery novel.

Abstract: This piece begins with a line from Weldon Kees’s “After the Trial.” Inspired by Kees’s description of a man’s reaction to a trial, I took the imagery of a trial and turned it inwards as a means of self reflection on guilt. This poem explores negative thought patterns and mental health through the judge who resides in all humans.

Jonathan Quiros: Ode to Our Iridescence

Presenter Bio:  Jonathan Quiros (colloquially known as JQ) is a Panamanian-American poet/fiction writer and musician who was born in Los Angeles, California, on June 9, 2000 and who has since lived in Rochester, New York; Houston, Texas; and Omaha, Nebraska, where the rest of their family resides in the present-day. They are currently a Trumpet Performance Major and Creative Writing Minor, juggling music-making with the writing of their first fiction novel. As their senior year comes to a close, they are simply overjoyed that they have a chance to share their creative voice and hope that they will be offered more opportunities to do so in the future.

Abstract:  “Ode to Our Iridescence” focuses on the myriad of colors that make up our opalescent world –  not just the colors of the things around us (i.e. the trees and the birds) but the colors that live within us as well. Each of us is a beautiful combination of the things we encounter and the colors that the world emits on us both in physical and symbolic ways. This poem grapples with the idea of our impermanence and the impermanence of our world, but the beauty of it all as well – its hues, tints, and brilliant shades.  Surely, there’s more to each of us than meets the eye.

5:00-5:45:  Breakout Rooms

  • Breakout C (Fiction) Panelists:  Eliana Sussner, Shelley Xue, Bela Seitz, and Eric Ponce
  • Breakout D (Poetry) Panelists: Morgan Elrod-Erickson, JaHyne “JJ” Johnson, and Alexandra Rahill

Breakout Panel C - Abstracts and Author Bios

Panel chair, lara casey (mfa candidate), eliana sussner: good guys.

Presenter Bio: Eliana Sussner is a member of the Class of 2024 and is studying English and Political Science. She is originally from New Jersey and has been writing since she was eight years old. She finished the first draft of her first novel at age fourteen and published her first short story at age seventeen in Red Bean Magazine in 2020. She has also been featured in Ogma Magazine from 2020 to 2021. She has written four novels as well as many short stories and plans on working towards publishing her most recent novel in the latter half of 2022. She is currently writing for The Nash News as a Contributing Writer.

Abstract: After a fraternity party, two fraternity brothers, Aiden and Thomas, attempt to transport an unconscious girl to the hospital. As the truth of the night is revealed and the unthinkable happens, the brothers come to terms with the gravity of their actions. This piece concerns itself with sexual assault, trauma, and dehumanization of victims in the context of what at times is a largely indifferent college atmosphere.

Shelley Xue: The Fantastic Life of Cindy

Presenter Bio: Shelley Xue is a member of the Class of 2022 majoring in Economics with double minors in Cinema & Media Arts and Psychology. She has been telling stories since kindergarten, when she walked up to people and told stories about herself as a magical fairy. Much of Shelley’s recent creative writing reflects her own personal experiences. Outside of writing, Shelley enjoys long runs, people watching, and trying her best to sing in-tune.

Abstract: In this short screenplay, our protagonist Cindy learns that living in her fantasy can be an unreliable and even destructive method of escapism from reality. To escape her pandemic-induced grief, she finds refuge in a fantastic vision that is a combination of past journal writings, past music, past pictures, and lots of imagination. Eventually, her subconscious seeps in, reality intrudes in her fantasy, and the distinction between fantasy and reality becomes blurred, forcing her to confront her grief.

Bela Seitz: Six Lies

Presenter Bio:  Bela Seitz is a member of the Class of 2023 from New York City. She is majoring in Human and Organizational Development and History of Art. In her spare time, she enjoys going to museums and writing.

Abstract: Composed in a fiction writing workshop, Six Lies is a story that seeks to address themes of family, trauma, and cats.

Eric Ponce: McNifica

Presenter Bio:  Eric Alan Ponce was born and raised in Dallas, Texas to a Mexican-immigrant father and a first-generation Ecuadorian mother. He is a senior at Vanderbilt University studying Philosophy and English with a focus in creative writing. His main interests are critical theory, feminist philosophy, semiotics, and contemporary Latino literature. His writing has been published in the The Vanderbilt Review, BookPage magazine, The Vanderbilt Political Review, and PALABRITAS the Harvard Latino Literary Journal. He hopes to make a living writing and teaching wherever he goes.

Abstract: McNífica is the story of a young man who meets a cousin he can’t communicate with very well. Because they are the same age, they try to relate to each other through other things, eventually realizing they both like eating fast food. When his cousin tells a tragic story about his two friends, the narrator realizes that some ties transcend language, class, and culture.

Breakout Panel D - Abstracts and Author Bios

Panel chair, jessica lee (mfa candidate), morgan elrod-erickson: message for x æ a-xii.

Presenter Bio: Morgan Elrod-Erickson is a senior English major. When he’s not writing or reading “the kinds of books they always force you to read in English class” for fun, you might find him ballroom dancing or at a heavy metal concert. He is currently clawing his way to completion of a senior thesis, which he plans to expand into a full-length (and probably rather lengthy) novel in the near future.

Abstract: This piece is an imagined letter to Elon Musk and Grimes’ child, whom they have named X Æ A-XII (or X for short). It incorporates language Musk and Grimes have used to describe X—such language is set aside in brackets to differentiate it from my own words. The poem is an appeal to X’s humanity; in workshop, I said (only half in jest) that I feared this child may someday become an “evil cyborg space billionaire,” an outcome which I think we’d all like to avoid.

JaHyne “JJ” Johnson: Paper Thin

Presenter Bio: Hello!  My name is JaHyne “J.J.” Johnson. I am a junior (c/o 2023) from Memphis, TN, majoring in Chemistry. On campus, I am a member of Questbridge, poetry writer for New Dawn, member of VU Pointe ballet club, and president of Money Readers. I am a pretty laid-back guy who loves to cook, try new food, go to arcades, play basketball, and laugh. When I write poetry, I love to use a natural entity ( flowers, fire, seasons, etc.) as a vehicle to express my emotions. In my poetry, I make sure to include clear and vivid imagery to guide the readers to my message.

Abstract:  This poem highlights how it is being an intelligent black in America. On one hand, especially in the eyes of the black elders, you are “the chosen” who is given the burden to sacrifice your life and dreams to fix the problems in the black community; on the other hand, even though you are intelligent and may even surpass some of your white counterparts, you are still treated beneath them because you are a black man in a society built for white men. All this is told through paper imagery.

Alexandra Rahill:  Dad’s Drum Set Pantoum

Presenter Bio: Alexandra Rahill is a member of the class of 2023.

Abstract: This piece is a pantoum poem about grief. The speaker is a child that has recently lost their mother and is watching their father work through his grief by playing his drumset. The speaker observes the pain of being a recent and unexpected single father of two young children. The speaker imagines how the family must look to their neighbors and through their observations of a particular piece of the drum set that represents their childhood, the child’s grief is also explored. I thought the drum set worked well in the pantoum form because of the strong beat inherent in the form.
