Stephanie Bolster relished her creative writing degree because she was able to build a writing community. Sally Cooper gave up workshops to practice making her own editorial choices. Camilla Gibb ended up with a Ph.D. in Anthropology because a teacher advised her not to study English Lit if she wanted to be a writer. These and other writers discuss the impact of education on their careers, the magic of seeing their words in print, and the excruciating task of reading and writing reviews.
