The College Heights Herald recently quoted Tom C. Hunley (author of Scotch Tape World) on the new MFA in Creative Writing at Western Kentucky University. If approved, the university will accept six applicants for Fall 2015.

“It’s exciting that we are finally getting to the point where it’s being administratively approved,” said Tom. “It’s exciting to start recruiting new students and to get to know new faculty.”

Other notable information about the article are the secondary specializations (literature, composition and rhetoric, or teaching ESL) and a focus on Creative Writing Pedagogy.
