Is academia still the best place for writers? What about writers who don’t want to teach? How does a writer make a writing life outside of academia? What kinds of careers fuel a writing life? In this roundtable, seven MFA graduates will talk about how their graduate creative writing work has helped them to develop job skills in non-academic fields.

Jacob M. Appel (medicine), Eric M. B. Becker (editing/translating), Sunu P. Chandy (law), Mike Fu (editing), Rob Gunther (broadcasting), Zakia Henderson-Brown (publishing), Tyler Rivenbark (screenwriting)
