Work published Where it was published

Please briefly describe your experience in creative writing.

Writing Sample (REQUIRED)Submit a portfolio with this application.

The samples can be complete or incomplete. For example, you may submit two or three pages of a longer work, if the story or chapter is too long to submit in its entirety. The writing portfolio must be computer printed and stapled or bound in a flat “report” / “presentation” folder. No 3-ring binders. Please note, submissions will not be returned. In addition, your portfolio must include a MANDATORY essay on the topic described below. This essay should be placed at the beginning of your portfolio.

If you were shipwrecked on a desert island, which five books and/or five films would you want to have saved from the wreck? (It happens that the island has a solar-powered television that plays DVDs. It has no antenna or cable though, so you'll have to

watch the same films over and over...)

If your essay primarily involves your favorite films, please list your favorite five books at the end of the essay just to give us some notion of the kinds of things you like to read. In addition, even if you have no real interest in film, please reveal what films you might have saved from the wreck if sharks had not consumed them first.

Note: Submission of writing sample must accompany the application.
