The letter should give the student’s name, address (including zip code), e-mail address, telephone number, social security number, date of birth, level in school, list of creative writing courses taken (if any) and the name of the instructor/s. It should also state whether the student has in or out-of-state residence.

2) A sample of writing. Please submit 1-2 short stories, or 5-10 poems or some combination. Drama and creative nonfiction are acceptable.

3) Letter of recommendation. Ask one of your instructors to write a letter commenting on your writing, and on your ability to take criticism and contribute to class discussion.
