The genres offered are the same as in the Queens MFA program: fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and writing for stage and screen.<\/p>\n\n    <\/component>    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"media-context__image\">\n                              <picture>\n      <source media=\"(min-width:768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.queens.edu\/graduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/CWrcert.jpg\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\"\n        class=\"media-context__img\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/www.queens.edu\/graduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/CWrcert.jpg\"\n        alt=\"Student writing in notebook during class\"\n      \/>\n    <\/picture>\n  \n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/component>\n\n\n<p>You will master the ability to self-edit through multiple revisions and\/or revise in response to others&#8217; editing suggestions.
