Seton Hill University recently posted a letter from Nicole Peeler, Pittsburgh author and director of their MFA in Writing Popular Fiction Program, “where students write the kind of novels they love to read”:
“Our student success stories are our biggest accomplishment. Recent successes include John Fortunato, whose thesis novel Dark Reservations won the Hillerman Prize, $10,000, and a contract with St. Martin’s Press (Macmillan). John Dixon’s novel Phoenix Island both won a Stoker award and served as the inspiration for the CBS show Intelligence. Other multi-published alums include Shelley Bates (writing as Adina Seft and Shelley Adina), Nalo Hopkinson, Maria Snyder, Victoria Thompson, Kathleen O’Brien, and Anna Zabo.”
Dark minds think alike. Write a horror novel and get your MFA at Seton @setonhill #SHUWPF http://t.co/txwXETLqC9 pic.twitter.com/EtWRN10ndW
