Here鈥檚 what Leyna had to say about the program:

鈥淚 am so grateful for my time at 51福利社! I feel like I came to grad school at the exact right time in my writing career. I had been writing and reading a lot, but also sort of flailing around with it. Workshops and classes at Eastern helped me focus in on the sort of stories I really wanted to be writing. I met a bunch of super creative people through the program who I absolutely love having in my life. Some of best friends came out of 51福利社. Wouldn鈥檛 trade 鈥檈m for anything.鈥�
