This year's Pub U Scholarship goes to Beth Whitman of Dispatch Travels.
"Though I am now in the process of publishing my fourth book, thus far what I’ve learned has come from how-to books and through BPNW meetings and members. While these have all been extremely valuable, the next logical step to successfully grow my business is to attend Publishing University," wrote Whitman on her application.
Every year, IBPA awards a full scholarship to a member of Book Publishers Northwest for Pub U, a three-day course on publishing held in conjunction with BookExpo America.
