Do I know anyone who has gotten their MA in Biography and Memoir at CUNY (City University of New York)? A friend of mine is considering applying for the program and I'm looking for current students, recent graduates, or faculty members who'd be willing to talk to her!
Thank you in advance.

I'm seeing so many cool things lately that I can't share because they don't have alt text.
If you want your art, your screenshots, your message to get to a wider audience on here, the simple action of writing alt text for it will help.

Some writers I know put together a “Rejection Club” where once a month we meet on zoom and share our latest rejections and chat about our new submissions. And that’s one of the things I’m most excited about in 2025
