Butterfield Scholarship Grant Winner Announced
The Northern California Book Publicity and Marketing Association (NCBPMA) is pleased to announce that Andrea (Deia) Chase de Brito has been awarded the 2007 Butterfield Scholarship Grant of $3,000.
Deia plans to use the scholarship to fund her position as full-time Marketing Director at Aunt Lute Books. Aunt Lute Books is a not-for-profit, multicultural women’s press that has been publishing in San Francisco since 1982. Deia has been an intern at Aunt Lute for over a year and this scholarship will help her and the Executive Director of Aunt Lute to fund a full-time Marketing Director position for her, instead of a part-time position.
The NCBPMA/Carol C. Butterfield Scholarship Grant was established by Carol Butterfield’s friends and family to honor her memory and to continue her efforts to help individuals develop their careers in book publishing. The Scholarship Grant is administered by the NCBPMA through an endowment managed by the Community Foundation for Monterey County.
The Scholarship Grant can be used to take classes at book publishing programs such as the Stanford Professional Publishing Course, UC Berkeley Extension Publishing Program, or Denver Publishing Institute. It can also be used to finance a book marketing, sales, or publicity internship with a Northern California publisher, distributor, or bookseller; or in other ways that will further a book publishing professional’s career in marketing, sales, or publicity.
The Call for Applications is generally available in early January and applications are due in early March. The scholarship is awarded in April. If you are interested in applying, please check back here in early January.
Questions may be directed to Kristen Frantz at 415-743-6475, or kfrantz@bkpub.com.
