Maya’s Career Goals

I want to be a professor in world literature (and maybe philosophy, specifically aesthetics). I also want to be a creative and freelance writer on the side, specifically poetry, short stories, comics, and game writing.

How do you become a community college professor?

I've heard that becoming a community college professor is a different process than being a professor at a university, especially a research university. What are things I should do now as an undergrad student to prepare?

How should I decide on an MFA program for Writing?

I see a lot of programs and I'm overwhelmed by which factors I should consider. Preferably, I would like a high-residency program that wouldn't require me to go into debt or expects me to pay too much out of pocket. My strongest medium is poetry, but I also like to write in prose.

Where can I find feedback on my poetry and other forms of creative writing?

I would like to get feedback on my writing in order to improve it. Especially for when I want submit pieces to literary magazines. I want to know if there are online communities I should join or websites I should look into. Ideally I would like to get feedback for free, but maybe could work out...

What are the best websites to use as a freelance creative writer?

Should I limit myself to a few websites or put my profile and portfolio? Are there different sites that are better for me as a creative writer rather than a technical writer?

How can I gain experience with freelance script and game writing and build a portfolio?

When I look at jobs on LinkedIn I see they usually require 2 years of experience. I would like to write part time and I’m curious about how to gain experience while I’m still at school.
