<p>@musically latin</p>
<p>totally suggest you to try for Iowa Young Writer’s Studio!!</p>
<p>I would myself but am really going for innerspark this year=P</p>
<p>in case anyone’s wondering tho</p>
<p>Juniper’s program is tied in with UMass Amherst’s MFA program’s faculty and department–and UMass Amherst’s MFA program is definitely top 10 in the nation. (MFAs being the PhD equivalent for creative writing.)</p>
<p>This is not to say that it is better than Iowa, which I’ve heard so many wonderful things about (honest to blog) , but to say that if it is a better location for you, etc. etc. it is more than worth considering. </p>
<p>@ keliexandra: I don’t think anyone was trying to say your suggestion of Alpha was insincere=)</p>
