| The Voices of Our Nations Arts Foundation VONA WRITERS & ALUMS |
| Who comes to VONA |
| VONA writers have come from 6 different countries, 24 different states, they range from 16 years old to 80 years old--some are students, some have never gone on to school. Some have been writing all their lives, others just discovered their voices. Many have published, others are yet to complete a major work. They have one commonality: they are serious about their writing and they know that the Voices workshop gives them a unique experience and a great community. |
