Abstract
The following manuscript is evidence the KSU MAPW program works. The first story was developed in my last fiction writing class under the competent and caring tutelage of Dr. Andrew Plattner; no nonsense encouragement was the key. It is being published in MAP Literary magazine. The final story has also been published. It began in my first writing class in which Gerrard Conley provided a patient and talented example. I’ve been fortunate; three more of these writings are also being published.
Dr. Aaron Levy charts the course we sail here at KSU, and maybe the most indispensable person involved has been Terri Dudenhoeffer who keeps the rivets tight in the hull of this MAPW program.
