We have a new Facebook Page

Hi everyone!  Facebook is doing away with “groups” so we were forced to move on.  But the exciting part of enforced change is the sudden chance to create something better.  Now, our FB page is meant for all CUNY MFA creative writing candidates and alums to post news about their literary lives.  Doing a reading? Post it on our wall!  Publishing a chapbook? A short story? A book? Post it on our FB page so our community can support you.  Our community is your community. Let’s stay informed.

Here is how you do it: www.facebook.com/CUNY.creativewritingnews

Hope to see you there!
