Comment on In death, Maine writer Elizabeth Ilgenfritz leaves a legacy

A late Maine writer’s passion for her craft has led to two new scholarships offered by the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance (MWPA). One will pay for female high school students in Waldo or Knox counties to attend the Longfellow Young Writers’ Workshop at the University of Maine at Farmington each July, and the second is for female writers 18 and older in those counties to attend a literary conference in Brooklyn, New York, each September. The scholarships honor longtime MWPA member Elizabeth Ilgenfritz of Montville, who died in October 2016 at age 65 after a brief illness.
