SCBWI Summer Conference Grant Opportunity...

If you're interested in attending the awesome yet pricey SCBWI Annual Summer Conference in LA this August 1-4 and could use a little extra cash (and who couldn't?) Fairy Godsisters, Ink./Shrinking Violet Promotions is offering a $1,000 grant to use for attending the event. Applicants must write a 250-word essay describing their goals for the conference and submit it to fairygodsistersink@yahoo.com. Visit Shrinking Violet Promotions for more information or contact mlhershey@aol.com with questions. The deadline is May 15th. (If you go, be sure to say his to me--I'll be there and I'll be blogging.)

According to their blog:

"Fairy Godsisters, Ink. is a small, benevolent squadron of children’s book authors who believe in the magic of passing forward lucky breaks, bounty and beneficence, as so many have done for us. We are Thalia Chaltas, Mary Hershey, Valerie Hobbs, R. L. La Fevers and Lee Wardlaw."
