The MFA in Creative Writing and Literature at Stony Brook Southampton is having an autumn Open House in the Radio Lounge of Chancellors Hall at the Shinnecock Hills campus on October 9 starting at 6 pm.
All are invited to come speak with faculty, students and staff about the MFA workshops in fiction, memoir, creative nonfiction, poetry, playwriting and more, all taught by distinguished working writers. Information will be available on combining course work in Manhattan and Southampton, or, for those interested in writing for younger readers, the new one-year Children’s Lit Fellows program.
Immediately following the Open House, Meghan Daum will be the next guest in the fall Writers Speak Wednesdays series of free author talks and readings open to the public at Stony Brook Southampton. Daum will speak on Wednesday, October 9, at 7 pm in the Radio Lounge. A wine and cheese reception will follow.
Daum is the author of the essay collection My Misspent Youth, the novel The Quality of Life Report and the memoir Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived In That House. An opinion columnist at The Los Angeles Times, she has also written for The New Yorker, Harper’s and Vogue.

On December 4 the evening will be devoted to readings by “the stars of tomorrow,” students enrolled in the MFA in Creative Writing and Literature program.
