And there's more...
Congrats to the winners of the 2020 Members for Members Scholarship Fund!
These winners are members or soon-to-be members of SCBWI who are interested in and working towards creating children’s books that resonate with diverse readers. Stay tuned to learn more - we'll check in with the recipients down the road to learn more about their work and how their projects are progressing.
Many thanks to the generous members who donated funds and to Isabel O'Hagin and the DEI committee for working to establish this scholarship fund.
Cheers to all of our hard-working SCBWI-MI writers and illustrators! Here's to taking risks and leaps to improve your work. We're so proud of you!
Congrats to the winners and runners up! And thanks to all the hard work all the volunteers in SCBWI do to help the rest of us.
