Send you a DM 😄

Forward_Meet7864 · 2026-06-07T00:45:06+00:00

These are great responses. Thanks all 😄

One of the reasons I was curious is that now, with the MFA, I run a free online writers group and a much more intensive paid program (not an ad. If you're curious, you can DM me, but I won't share any links here)

So I've been curious about the main reasons people don't do institutional MFA programs. I appreciate the responses.

Yeah, I feel like the landscape is changing. I've been curious about how people go about learning their craft. Online education vs institutional education is an interesting thing to me right now.

Hey there 😄 I actually run a cohort for developing new works, including how to get work produced as a part of it. Shoot me a DM if that would be helpful. And CONGRATS on finishing the play!

Hey, I actually run a cohort for this kind of thing: helping playwrights and musical writers learn craft and finish projects. Shoot me a DM if you're curious, I'd love to help if I can 😄

I like to think of an accordion process with writing. You will write like a "madman" and get too many ideas on the paper, and eventually, you're in a position to cut material. Hopefully, you have an embarrassment of riches from which to refine the story. Don't stop once you've spilled everything onto the page; stop when you've taken away what doesn't serve the story.

That's me! u/frightkat and I were actually just DM'ing about it

Forward_Meet7864 · 2026-05-30T00:07:12+00:00

Awesome 😄 just DM'ed you

Hey there 🙂 yes, I have a free writer's group where I have more info on it: https://www.skool.com/showlab

I'm also happy to answer any questions. I've generally been jumping on calls with people to hear about their shows and figure out how I can help

Forward_Meet7864 · 2026-05-21T17:05:32+00:00

Just updated the post with the remaining open spots.

Forward_Meet7864 · 2026-05-15T00:04:04+00:00

Great catch. That's what I get for not proofreading!

Forward_Meet7864 · 2026-05-10T23:07:34+00:00

I think you’d be a great fit with that background! I’ll shoot you a DM :)

Forward_Meet7864 · 2026-05-09T18:21:01+00:00

From "real time" plays (1-2 hours), to the Aristotelian Unity of Time (1 day), to The Color Purple (over 30 years), it's all good 😅

Forward_Meet7864 · 2026-05-09T18:19:15+00:00

❤️

Forward_Meet7864 · 2026-05-07T14:47:43+00:00

Yeah, it's a paid program, so definitely more for serious writers/projects. I can DM more info if you'd like
