Alumni Success Stories
The writing classes I took as a student at Franklin Pierce propelled me toward summer writing institutes and graduate school, where I earned my MFA in creative writing. I've since been published in a number of literary journals, magazines, and anthologies, including Bellevue Literary Review, Mamalode, and ROAR Magazine. The literature and writing professors at Franklin Pierce were incredibly encouraging, and I'm so thankful for them."
