MFA in Creative Writing at Queens University of Charlotte The paradoxical truth about writing is that it demands both solitude-time alone to think and write-and a community of colleagues to sustain that work too.

Committed to forming and sustaining a community of productive writers.

Hello, all! Registration is now open for the PDW 2026!
We’re excited to follow-up with more information about this year’s Alumni-led Professional Development weekend, to be held September 18, 19, and 20. In addition to the seminars, there will be three opportunities for reading and sharing work. We will have an alumni book reading, for published alumni to read from their work, as well as a table for selling copies. We will also have an open mic where we will welcome all kinds of work. For critique and workshop, we will host peer-led writing groups over the weekend as well, for an opportunity to workshop with fellow alumni and current students. Click the link in our bio to visit the Alumni website and read more about the event and subscribe to the alumni mailing list if you aren’t already subscribed.
We look forward to providing you updates as we solidify our programming!

Our Professional Development Weekend is back live on the Queens campus, kicking off on Friday, September 18 at 5pm and finishing Sunday, September 20 at 12 noon. This year, the PDW is organized by MFA alumni, with alumni chairing forums, panels, teaching and sharing insights. We haven’t gathered on campus for the MFA alumni organized PDW since 2018, so we hope to see you there! It’s a great opportunity to hear what everyone’s been working on and to engage with the greater Queens Community. Current students are welcome to attend. Stay tuned for the schedule and other updates!

“In Escapement, we encounter a variety of forms and strategies structured around the abiding metaphor of music. The book demonstrates both an ear for traditional techniques and a delightful formal inventiveness, particularly in a nonce sequence whose stanzas (and title) slowly attenuate poem by poem, stripping the theme—the search for love—down to bare wood and subjecting it to an agonizing reappraisal. Showcasing a unique wit and intelligence supported by strong undercurrents of emotion, Escapement is a book to relish and reread. This is an impressive collection.” Congrats Rebecca Biber !!
