Do you plan to pursue any other degrees after this?
No.
Name: Traci Macnamara
Age: 31
Marital Status: Single
Current Job Location: Antarctica
Goal: To complete the writing of her first book and have it published
School: Goucher College
Target: M.F.A. in Creative Nonfiction, August 2007
Why made you want to go for your master's degree?
I wanted to write my first book, so I am getting a M.F.A. in Creative Non-Fiction because I really wanted mentorship through that process.
I wanted deadlines and guidance, and I also wanted to be around other writers who were also going through that process.
Do you plan to advance your career with it?
Yes ... I am hopeful that my first published book will come out of the work that I have done for the past two years in the program, and with the degree, I could also teach creative writing at a university or do other writing work.
What will your first book be about?
The book will be about the first nine months that I spent at McMurdo Station, Antarctica as a contract laborer. I did grunt-type work through the summer and winter seasons that year.
