Tina's gift of stories

SCBWI-WWA's Illustration Coordinator, artist and Evergreen College alumna Tina Hoggatt has lived and created stories for decades. As a way to ensure the continuity of stories well into the future, she has created a unique scholarship at her alma mater, the Storytelling Scholarship.


If anyone you know might benefit from this extraordinary opportunity, please pass the word!

It is meant for students who work across all narrative forms, disciplines and media. This is targeted at those students who lack the financial means to continue their education, or are at risk for dropping out of college.


Kudos to Tina for such a generous and important way for future storytellers to get their voices heard!

Apologies for the late notice, as this exhibition has been up for months, but we'd like to call your attention to an exhibition of very special book for children at the University of washington. Special Collections, University of Washington Libraries is currently exhibiting Merry Company: Pop-ups, Movables & Toy Books, which features nearly 150 pieces from the collection of Pamela Harer and the UW Libraries Historical Children’s Literature Collection & the Book Arts Collection. The show is up through Friday, March 16.

Directions within the library: Enter the main Suzzallo Library entrance facing Red Square. Walk straight through Suzzallo to Allen North (Special Collections can also be reached using the elevators in Allen Library South). Take the elevator down two floors to the basement and Special Collections. For more information (including hours of access) visit the webpage. Thanks to Tina Hoggatt for sending the information.
