Abstract
In MFA writing programs, students work hard on theses, often embarking on the longest writing projects they’ve completed. But what happens when they graduate? This panel focuses on turning the MFA thesis into a book and landing a publishing contract. The panelists have written books that found their geneses in MFA/PhD programs and will discuss agents, editors, proposals, hurdles, and best practices for going from thesis to book in the transition from MFA to professional writer and/or academic.
