to folks who read this blog! I know I just did a good news post about a week ago, but so much high-five-worthy news keeps pouring in!

  • My student, Chidi Asoluka, has been named a finalist for the Hurston/Wright Award!
  • Jean Thompson's short-story collection, "Throw Like A Girl", has been named a Target Breakout Book.
  • FeLicia Elam has more good news than I can even list here. Here are the highlights: Not only did she get into the MFA at Whidbey Island, WA, but she is the 2008-2009 recipient of the Elizabeth George Foundation full scholarship. And to cap it off, she's going to the Tin House Workshops.

    Is there more good news out there? Shoot me an email!
