SCBWI-MI congratulates the winners of the illustration mentorships!

V Gray won the picture book illustration mentorship with Dow Phumiruk.

Here's a message from SCBWI-MI Mentorship Coordinator, Ann Finkelstein:

Thanks to everyone who applied. The judges commented on the high quality of the submissions. Putting your work out for review requires courage and strength. I applaud you. 
Thanks to the judges (Heidi Sheffield, Brianne Farley and Amy Nielander) for writing detailed and constructive comments on each submission. I feel like I took a graduate level illustration class by reading the judges' feedback. 

The 2022 mentorship will be for middle grade and YA novelists. It's never too early to begin preparing! Stay tuned for more information via email, social media, and our SCBWI-MI website.
