For those of you in the Cambridge area, you’ll see that the Harvard Book Store hasn’t wasted any time assembling a pretty amazing set of January readings/events.

Also for the locals: check the evening readings (they start on Friday) for Lesley University’s Low-Residency MFA Program in Creative Writing’s winter residency. The evening readings are free and open to the public.

Finally, this one’s for everyone: just a reminder that our online course on Publishing Your Short Stories begins January 15. There’s still time/space for you to sign up!

Here’s a bit of good news from Bucknell University, where the Stadler Fellowship is administered. The fellowship’s stipend (which was $12,000) is now $20,000. That’s a nice increase (the fellowship also includes housing in a furnished apartment on campus, office space, and health insurance). The next fellowship application deadline is December 2, 2006. For more information about this fellowship, which “offers a recent MFA, MA, or PhD graduate in poetry professional training in arts administration, literary editing, and teaching” and “is designed to balance the development of professional skills with time to complete a first book of poems,” visit the Stadler Center Web site. NB: No application fee!

Back in February I posted news about a low-residency MFA program that was just getting organized. It seems that this program, at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio, is now up and running, planning its first residency for July 22-August 5, 2007. Find out more about the program (poetry and creative nonfiction only) at its Web site.
