He is the founding editor of the yearly fiction anthologies American Fiction as well as Dogwood: A Journal of Poetry and Prose.
White, is the founder and director for Fairfield University’s low-residency MFA in Creative Writing Program. This program offers MFA students from around the country the opportunity to meet together twice a year to participate in intensive 10-day residencies with nationally-renowned writers. “I’ve had extensive experience teaching at other low-residency programs. I think that Southern New England is ideal for this program and am especially pleased with the caliber of writers we are attracting to work one-on-one with our students”, said White.
