I thought this looked brilliant and someone (someone?) might be interested:

Syllabus for a self-directed MA in Creative Writing 2019

"Most of the great writers we read had no MAs, but very different qualifications: life experience, yearning, a typewriter, a well-read library. Their writing courses were self-assembled."

I was lucky enough to get a BA in English, even though it took me 24 years to complete it. My actual MA is in Geography. That was fun. And is pretty useful in writing. I learned a lot about what a "Sense of Place" really meant and how it helps in being a decent writer.

I read the syllabus you posted here, Fuzzy girl, and it is a wonderful way to get an education in creative writing. The sooner one gets to it the better. I may try to complete it before I become an octogenarian. Embarassed

Lol, it is like that laughing6

The MA info looks interesting. I’ve never done any kind of course in creative writing, so it’s something I should look at when time permits.

Thank you for posting this. I've considered an MA before but balked at the price. I might try this!
