"As a recent graduate of VCFA's MFA program and the post-graduate Picture Book Certificate Program, I can say that I have never looked back. In addition to the knowledge and life-long friendships I've gained as a result of my Vermont College experience, I've seen remarkable growth in my ability to teach the craft of writing to students. Without a doubt, Vermont College of Fine Arts' MFA program has made me a better writer and a better teacher."

“Giving up the Ghost was the first novel I sold after graduation. The idea for this book grew out of a chapter I submitted for my first workshop with Phyllis Root and Carolyn Coman, and was nurtured from an emotional standpoint by Louise Hawes that first semester when she encouraged me to write about my fears.”
