The MFA Program in Writing proudly offers the Writers Series (aka Friday Seminars) that features a continuum of talented writers who are scheduled throughout the academic year to share their experience and insights.

To learn more about these impressive writers, either select by name, below, or visit the Writers' Series events calendar. Each event listing features the writer's headshot and his or her literary accomplishments as part of the bio. (Note: The event calendar link above lists only the remaining events for the current term; you can see the entire lineup below.)

Unless otherwise noted in the event listing, all Friday Seminars are held at the CCA Writers’ Studio, located at 195 De Haro (at 15th Street), from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

All events are free and open to the public, yet each event is offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and events fill quickly.

We hope to see you at the next MFA Program in Writing Friday Seminar!
