Austin SCBWI

Congratulations to Vanessa Lee for winning a base-rate scholarship to the 2011 Something for Everybody Austin Regional Conference!  Her captivating middle-grade novel Archbald Mitzakowski: Big Physic Failure simply swept the Scholarship Committee right off their noodles.

Vanessa reports that attending the last two Regional Conferences has made all the difference in her pursuit of publication. She says, “Each has helped me to learn valuable information about the industry and increase my writing support network. This year I will attend with a query-ready manuscript! I am thrilled by the thought of what the conference could mean for me at this point in my writing career.”

Well, Vanessa, your Austin SCBWI family could not be more proud of you! Good luck with that query-ready manuscript. We think…no…we are certain that it is a winner!

Go get ‘em! We’re behind you all the way.
