Because I’ve written about applying for and starting the CLMCE program, I’ve received a number of messages with questions from potential applicants and admitted students. So I decided to consolidate some answers and advice, including my high-level current CLMCE experience, notes about learning, people, locations, money, why I chose to do the CLMCE program, and my suggestions for applications & personal statements.

I arrived a week ago to Glasgow, Scotland, to start my master’s degree (!!), so I wanted to share about it & answer some of the top questions about the program I’m doing — an Erasmus Mundus International Master’s of Children’s Literature, Media, and Cultural Entrepreneurship (CLMCE), getting started at the University of Glasgow, our CLMCE Orientation information, and getting settled in Glasgow.

I just applied to my dream program: the Erasmus Mundus Master in Children’s Literature, Media & Cultural Entrepreneurship. So I thought I’d share a bit about my journey, this unique interdisciplinary program across Europe, and my application.

My newest project, A Travel Alphabet book, is now available as a digital download! Created in just 12 hours during my course at The Glasgow School of Art, this book is packed with travel tips and vibrant blue ink illustrations, collaged on pink sugar paper.

I am taking 6 weeks of art classes at 3 schools! I love learning and making art, and I’ve wanted to take a break and do more structured studio classes for a while. So I decided to give myself the gift of a creative sabbatical… like a DIY adult summer camp!
