Hollins U. Summer Writing & MA PrograM...Now with ILLUSTRATION!

[ellen_kushner]

Thanks, KD, for posting the hard data about Delia's & my gig this summer at Hollins.

I just found out who the Writer in Residence will be:  David Almond.

I think I may faint.

You've read SKELLIG, right??

Plus:

Hollins has also launched a Children’s Book Illustration Certificate program!  Talks by their artists and lecturers are also open to all

Hope you don't mind me popping in to add that, as a graduate of the program, it is awesome. If you're reading Ellen's post & thinking of getting an MA/MFA, Hollins is definitely one of the most welcoming places you can go and, as stated, super genre-friendly. I worked on fantasy pieces the entire time I was there and was never pressured to do anything but improve my skills.

So glad you and Delia be back at Hollins this summer! I hope to make it up from Christiansburg a few times during the semester to see everyone!

Yay! And THIS time, we'll get together before it's time for you to leave again.

Heh. Say hullo to David for me when the occasion arises; he's my mate (and this year's official Chaz-substitute at a ghost story event in Newcastle: "Chaz is in America, oh noes! Who else can we get? I suppose there's always that Almond fellow...").
