Publish your writing

The following link is for the group I spoke to you about in class with regards to publishing your work. It is called The Blue Pencil Online and "is a student-run electronic journal seeking to publish the best literary work in English by young writers between ages 12-18 around the globe."

www.thebluepencil.net

Four features of the site:

"Pencil Shavings"- experiments with single sentence

"Out Loud!" - audio recordings of vocal performers of literary works

"The Draft Board"- Reflections on significant moments in the revision process

"A Good Read"- examinations of writers' techniques and maneuvers on the page

The site also sponsors writing competitions that award scholarships to winners. They are currently offering $45,000 in scholarships for the current writing competition called "New Elizabeth Bishop Prizes".

Check it out, and don't hesitate to submit, you have nothing to loose!!
