Children's Book Academy Results
Many of Mira's students have received contract offers, re-energized their careers, and/or landed agents. Former students have won just about every award except for the Caldecott and Coretta Scott King awards (Mira is convinced that due to the talented nature of the students, this is just a matter of time) and agents are responding super favorably to graduates' work!!! Recently at the 2013 SCWBI North/California Central Spring Spirit Conference all three winners of the portfolio competition were Mira’s students.
