WRC Officers Granted Scholarships to the 28th Annual

Independent Book Publishing Association's Publishing University

WRC's April meeting is pushed to the third Saturday this month because two of its officers, President Bess and Vice President Ward, have been granted scholarships by the Independent Book Publishing Association (IBPA) to the organization's 28^th Annual Publishing University.  They will be attending the conference in Salt Lake City on WRC's usual meeting date.  The IBPA event provides resources, workshops, keynote speakers, vendor booths and other activities meant to inspire and support the efforts of independent writers and publishers.  The scholarships are valued at $375 each; and it is the first time the association has ever awarded scholarships to two people from the same group.

"We didn't coordinate our applications; we both applied separately and both got accepted," says Bess. "And, of course, we're very excited and honored to have been chosen for this opportunity."
