Local Girls "Began at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø"

Caroline Zancan MFAW '14, author of Local Girls, links her debut novel to her time at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø in an interview with Melville House.

As Zancan said in the interview, "I was writing it as a short story for an MFA deadline [at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø]...but once it grew and I had a structure down...it was a tornado." She went on to praise the ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø MFAW program, "The motto of ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø's program is 'Read 100 Books, Write one' and I think that's exactly right."
