I'm interested in applying for the scholarship for your Writing the Short Stuff class, but I'll be traveling and won't have internet access from July 31st to August 5th. I notice that you aren't posting the application process for that until August 1st. Is there a way for me to get that before I go? Or will there still be time for me to send you an application when I get back on August 5th?
Hi Valerie,
You'll be fine because you have until the 8th to turn in your application. 🙂
