Aurora Hurd
MFA in Creative Writing
Goddard College
Taryn Haas
MFA in Creative Writing for Children & Young Adults

Aurora and Taryn met through Vermont’s local NaNoWriMo group and were both stuck in jobs that made them unhappy - what they really wanted was to be writing or talking about writing or thinking about writing or reading about writing. Now, they help writers grow the way the two of them were helped - through
commitment, craft, and community.
