SCBWI “Letter of Merit”
I won a writing award! Okay–to be more accurate, I received a “Letter of Merit” (sort of like honorable mention) from the Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators for their annual Work-In-Progress grant. I am really excited about this! I feel like I won the grand prize! This was actually my third time applying for the grant and my second time applying with this novel (Necklace of Tears), so I almost didn’t bother this year. But I guess third time’s a charm! Funny
