I would like to invite anyone in the CCBC-net community who might be interested to attend a one?y conference on writing historical fiction and nonfiction for children and young adults on Sunday, January 21 in Montpelier, Vermont. The day, entitled Writing from History, is a part of the winter residency of the Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children program of Vermont College of Norwich University. Most of the rest of the eleven?y residency is designed only for students enrolled in the low-residency MFA program, but this special day inserted in the program is open to all.
Speakers will be authors Susan Campbell Bartoletti and Jennifer Armstrong, editor of the Scholastic Dear America series Amy Griffin, and authors and MFA-WC faculty members Ellen Howard, Susan Fletcher and M.T. Anderson. This discussion of writing fiction and nonfiction based on history is designed both for developing and established writers and will be stimulating, practical and informative.
To receive further information or to enroll in the day's workshop, contact Melissa Fisher, Program Director for the MFA in Writing for Children program, at mfisher at norwich.edu. Or telephone her at (802) 828?31.
Anyone interested in information about the larger program can also request that from Melissa. We are the only MFA in Writing for Children program in existence and the faculty are all long-established writers in the field. Because we are a low residency program--students and faculty spend two ten- or eleven?y residencies together on campus during the year and do the rest of the work one-on-one through correspondence--our students come from all over the world. We also offer postgraduate study with one of our faculty for established writers or MFA graduates and have a new one-semester scholarship available for such study.
