I’m a new Poet & Author Fellow with the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing!
Director of the wonderful Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing sent me this lovely letter. Alexander Weinstein is an accomplished creative with a slate of offerings ranging from books, to essays, to a story which was later adapted into a film. After Yang STARRING COLIN FARRELL is now available on streaming channels. The movie was selected by Barack Obama as one of his favorite films for 2022!
Words I treasure from Mr. Weinstein:
“We were all deeply impressed by your writing and your letter. Your nonfiction has such a powerful narrative voice which brings us right into the history seamlessly. It’s incredible writing and we’d love to be a home for your work! You seem a perfect match for our program, and given the strength of your application… we’d like to offer you a MVICW Poet & Author Fellowship. We believe in your work.”
I’m so appreciative and will use this as fuel. Thank you, Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing.
