建立她未来的职业生涯
在网赌的十大网站的短短两年里, Hannah Little has gained enough experience to build a career on. She has helped edit a soon-to-be published manuscript, 帮助创办了RWU的文学杂志, and met and shared her own creative work with famous authors. All of this led to yet another opportunity for her: a full scholarship to attend the prestigious 纽约州立暑期作家协会, where she will deepen her writing and editing skills even further.
“I’m most looking forward to having the chance to meet and listen to all these amazing writers that I’ve been studying and really admire,利特尔谈到参加作家学院. “I know I have so much to learn from them so I’m really going to try to take everything in while I’m there.”
Little credits this opportunity to her participation in RWU’s Bermont奖学金, which gave her the opening and funding needed to dive deeper into her writing as well as her work as an editor, 她希望毕业后从事什么工作. Each academic year the Bermont奖学金 provides students with the opportunity to attend an intensive, full-day master class with a distinguished visiting writer. Little was among a group of students who worked with renowned author Rick 喜怒无常的.
“The writing I had actually submitted for the [Summer Writers Institute] application was work-shopped with Rick 喜怒无常的,利特尔说. 喜怒无常的, along with RWU Writer-In-Residence Adam Braver helped advocate for Little when she applied to the Institute.
因为RWU的小班制, Little has been able to form a personal relationship with Braver, 谁是六部小说的作者. Little is now working alongside Braver in editing a manuscript of letters from Maryam Rafiee to her father while he was imprisoned in Iran for speaking out in favor of a nuclear deal. With the publication of the book coming out in September, Little says it’s been amazing to see the manuscript progress from draft to finished product.
“I saw this chance with Professor Braver as an opportunity to see if I actually enjoyed editing because before that, 我还没有机会真正去做,利特尔说. “I’ve learned that I do really like being a part of that process and am looking to go into that in the future.”
Little has also been building on her editing and publishing skills as a 资助个性化培训(FIT)实习生 与RWU的文学杂志合作 Mt. 希望该杂志刚刚出版了2018年春季刊.
“Hannah clearly has demonstrated that 学习 extends beyond the classroom,” Braver said. “And with each step there always will be another one to climb, 但是对于工作, 毅力, and dedication there can be great joy and satisfaction along the way.”
Little says she has valued and appreciated all the opportunities that the creative writing program has offered her so far and can’t wait to see what her final two years at RWU will bring both inside and outside of the classroom.
