Other stuff: breakfast, lunch and chocolate included. Lodging, mileage and dinners are not included. The first 25 applicants accepted will be eligible for a $150 stipend to defray costs.

I think someone from IFLS-land should attend this workshop! If you are thinking of applying, let me know by February 15. If no one is applying, I will apply myself and if I am selected I’ll bring ideas back to share.
