Creative Writing MFA Events
Our Events: Bringing Writers Together
As a dynamic and diverse community of writers located in New York City’s backyard and at the gateway to the Hudson Valley, our campus is a hub of literary activity. The Manhattanville MFA program hosts a wide array of events throughout the year, including author readings, writing workshops, seminars, and other special events.
Events take place at Barat House, the central hive of activity for the MFA program, or in beautiful Reid Castle, the crown jewel of Manhattanville’s campus.
Author Visit, October 17
Join us for a visit from essayist Nina Sharma, author of The Way You Make Me Feel: Love in Black and Brown, published earlier this year by Penguin. Sharma will read from her new book, which focuses on her experiences being in an interracial marriage, will answer audience questions about her book and writing process, and will sign copies of her book. The event is co-sponsored by the Center for Inclusion, and The Ville'age Store will be on hand to sell copies of the book.

As part of our Fall Writers' Weekend, novelist Jimin Han will visit campus to read from her most recent book The Apology. A review in The New York Times Book Review called the novel, an "enthralling multigenerational tale of familial secrets, trauma and healing." In addition to the reading, Han will answer questions about the novel and sign copies of the book, which the Ville'age Store will be selling on site.

Each semester, the Manhattanville University MFA Program develops a series of creative writing workshops, panel discussions, and readings that are open to local community members and program alumni as well as to current MFA students. These events are designed to dig deeply into a specific element of the craft of writing and to help participants hone their skills.
