Professional Reads Program

This unique program, the first of its kind nationally, is designed to offer MFA graduates a writer-friendly structured framework to establish professional contact with members of our influential alumni network. In particular, MFAs who submit a polished play, screenplay, or teleplay for consideration within one-two years after graduation will potentially receive up to five "professional reads" with feedback and guidance from established Northwestern alumni in the entertainment industry. We are grateful to our incredibly supportive alumni relations network for making this program possible and anticipate it will open doors for our graduates that lead to great success.
