Shan Correa (Honolulu) submitted her poem “Editoring,” which she describes as “a humorous piece dedicated to Vicky Holyfield, the remarkable editor of [my] middle-grade novel, Gaff,” to the SCBWI Bulletin. SCBWI president Stephen Mooser, who is also the Bulletin editor, replied with a note accepting the poem for publication in a future Bulletin issue, along with a small check.
Elizabeth Oh (Honolulu) is completing illustrations for Mouse and Mongoose Find a Rainbow, which will be released from BeachHouse/Mutual Publishing in the Fall.
Maureen Quemada (Pahoa) had her article “Paradise pest, a mixed blessing,” published in the March/April issue of “Skipping Stones” magazine. (Skipping Stones is a small magazine for ages 8-16 that “celebrate[s] ecological and cultural diversity [and] facilitates a meaningful exchange of ideas and experiences.”)
