A new model for literary camaraderie and study.
Where most low-residency MFAs cost $12,000 per year, the Attic Atheneum's unique format with 2-1 student to instructor ratio is a more affordable and focused alternative.
PRAISE FROM JODIE MARION, ATHENEUM CLASS OF 2011:
"The mentoring was uniquely supportive with each facilitator. I have developed a new sense of the choreography that goes on between reader and writer. The frequency and variety of meetings was spot-on — enough to be thought-provoking, but not too much to interfere my writing time. The cross-genre encounters have given me some sense of what other writers are doing and a clearer sense of what writers in each genre have in common as well as our perceptions of art, our triumphs and frustrations with publishing, and the local literary scene. I'm also happy to speak (positively!) to any interested appliants about my experience."
