Hi-

I'm a writer and reader living in Tucson AZ until January, at which time I'll be packing up and moving back to Austin TX. I just got my MFA in fiction from the U of A (which sounds pretentious as all hell even just writing it), and am excited to be part of a reading community.

So, if I violate any of the agreed-upon ROE here, please feel free to let me know. Hope to have some interesting discussions.

Best,

PR

There is nothing pretentious at all about letting people know what you have earned. Some people think the MFA, which is a terminal degree, is the easiest of all degrees to earn. My MBA was infinitely easier and knowing the scammers and low lifes who taught the business courses, I never use that title. Good luck in your writing.
