Gevalt leaving Vermont project

Geoffrey Gevalt, former BJ assistant managing editor, is stepping down as director of the Young Writers Project he began in 2006 in Burlington, Vermont.

Geoffrey said the YWP worked with 110,000 children by reading or sharing their work, teaching and giving them feedback.

He will leave YWP at the end of June.

Geoffrey was at the BJ 1992-98.

In 2006 he left his job as managing editor at the Burlington (Vt.) Free Press, where he first started in 2003, to head the Vermont Young Writers Project.
