Is it really valuable? Do we need it to get published? For author Wendy Tokunaga, MFA&rsquo;s are a privilege, not a necessity. She says, &quot;I didn&#39;t go into the MFA program because I thought, <em>this is going to get me published</em>.&quot; Rather, Wendy enjoyed studying literature and the craft of writing and believed that the knowledge was useful regardless of publishing goals. However, she recognizes that getting an MFA is not for everyone, and offers some alternatives for those who do not have the resources.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-00-94/WendyTokunagaGettinganMFA.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../WendyTokunagaGettinganMFA.mp4</a></div> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/writing-jobs/w/full-time-writer/4227/getting-an-mfa---video/revision/1Mon, 09 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:023019ec-bdcf-4f3f-9e2b-3ddf51db1ab2Wendy Tokunagahttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/writing-jobs/w/full-time-writer/4227/getting-an-mfa---video#commentsRevision 1 posted to Full-Time Writer by Wendy Tokunaga on 1/9/2017 12:00:00 AM<br /> <div class='asl-wikipage-body'><div class='asl-wikipage-summary'>Author Wendy Tokunaga discusses why she continued with her MFA (Masters of Fine Arts) program after getting a publishing deal.
