If you wanted to help me proofread, please see below the cut for details 😀

Okay, so the instructions were thus:

1. Prepare 1,500 words of a current work in progress (or one picture book manuscript) for submission to the email address listed in #3.
2. Write and submit a statement of need and intent, detailing why you would like financial assistance and what you hope to gain from the conference. This may be brief, but must prove that you are serious about your writing and are willing to put in the work required for improvement.
3. Submit all required materials as attachments by March 9^th, 2015 (but not before February 9^th) to [email redacted]. Applicant’s name and email address should be included on a cover sheet and on each page of the submitted work in progress.
4. Scholarship winners will be notified by email and receive a voucher for tuition.

Anyone with these links can leave comments. I haven’t had a chance to do any revisions on these myself yet, so it’s probably really raw and terrible. OMG I am so bad at proofreading. I don’t need this to be perfect, but I would love it if I could get your help catching glaring errors and some feedback on interest or not. Awkward lines are awkward and I know that there are tons of them. T___T;;;

Thank you so much! I’ll leave these up until tomorrow afternoon. 8)
