Iowa is to writers what Juliard is to musicians.  I imagine the competition
in terms of admission is pretty stiff.  The only criticism I ever heard
of Iowa was that they encourage their students to write "confessional"
stories, which I guess is okay for mainstream fiction.  Since that is what
I write, I guess it's okay with me.
