Message from Michael Howes
Honored to share that this year’s Boyds Mills Katey Howes Maker Scholarship has been awarded to Jennifer Walker.
Katey believed in the power of stories and helping young people find their voice, Jennifer’s work reflects that beautifully.
When I was fresh out of college about to start my first publishing job at Penguin Random House, I was in awe of the writers I met.
Not just the chart-topping bestsellers. Also the debuts!
Here are the top 5 (hard) lessons they taught me about what it REALLY takes to write a novel. 👇

My name is Ethan Minton. I'm a teen literacy advocate and the founder of E Train Talks, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. For the last four years, through class visits and community events, I’ve been working to help end book deserts by giving new books to underprivileged kids and teens who need them most. I want every young reader to feel the power of reading and discover the magic of stories.
As the year wraps up, I’m hoping to partner with companies that believe in the power of reading. Your support will help put new books in the hands of kids who need them most. Find out more at https://t.co/jHkRftV8UP. Here’s the donation page: https://t.co/xlV1FX9Fmn
All giving is tax-deductible, and your year-end donations will go to making an impact on a child's future. Thank you!

#WritingCommunity
Good critique groups are everything. First met these beautiful writers 3 yrs ago on zoom and despite living all over N America, they’ve become some of the people I love and trust most. It was so fun bringing them all to Canada for our own mini writers’ retreat!
