Or, actually, PhDon't. That's right, Univ. of Ark. turned me down. They said I didn't write well enough to be in their program. Can you believe that? 30+ first place writing awards in journalism, three different syndicated newspaper columns, books that completely sold out their printings and I don't write well enough to participate in their PhD program.
Actually, it all comes down to my age. I'm too old for their program. Oh, they won't say that...it's against the law! But they want younger folks who have never been out of college and have a long publishing career ahead of them.
So, I keep looking....

That's awful. I wish I could say I was shocked, but age discrimination is rampant in academia.
I'm so sorry to hear Arkansas was that shallow.
