ABOUT:
Did the SCBWI Conference make you think, maybe the MFA is for me? (In case you didn’t know Vermont College of Fine Arts (VCFA) sponsored the SCBWI Summer Spectacular, and is offering to waive the application fee for SCBWI members.) It happens that one of our own members, Margaret McGlynn, is a graduate of the Writing for Children and Teens program at VCFA. She has generously agreed to speak with us about her experience, as well as answer questions you may have. (In case you were wondering, the deadline to apply is September 15 for priority, and October 15 for regular).
Like all Mingles, this event is open to everyone in the LA Region and we hope you will join us if you considering if the MFA is right for your career path.
