Just received the (digital) diploma for my MFA in creative writing (SNHU). It was a wild ride, and I've got a novel I love out of it (near future police procedural where policing has drastically changed).

Now, I just need an agent 😅

@michaelthomet Congratulations! If an agent doesn’t work out in a timeframe satisfactory to you, there’s also the option to self publish. Good luck

@dickrubin716 Thanks for the good luck! Yes, a lot of people want to tell me about self-publishing, but I just don't really have the right countenance for it. It's a lot of work and requires a ton of charisma that I just don't know I have.

My MFA program really pushed the viability of self-pub, and we had a bunch of self-pub instructors, but my dream has always been that 90s idea of getting a publisher. I know I'm an idealist sometimes 🤣

@michaelthomet I love your energy and dedication to your craft. Definitely go for it with all your might. I’d also like to suggest to start working on your next book while you’re shopping the current one around
