Deadline Approaching for Christmas Story Contest

Hi, Ink Quill Society Friends!

I am very excited about what is in-store for our club!  We had a wonderful magazine last year and I know this school year’s submissions will be just as wonderful (if not even better!).   

As a writer, I enjoy having the opportunity of submitting some of my work for publication, and I hope you all do, too.  This month there is a great opportunity to have your short story published in a local newspaper.  The Fayetteville Observer is currently accepting submissions for its annual Children’s Christmas Story contest.  There are three age groups (kids, teenagers, and adults).  I hope that each one of our club members will use this opportunity to submit a Christmas story.  This is a win-win situation.  If your story is a winner in your category, you will have your Christmas story published in The Fayetteville Observer, and you will win $100.  However, if you do not win, this is still a good opportunity to work on your writing skills.  Also, the Ink Quill Society would love to receive all of the submissions that our club members and fellow BCC students send to the contest.  The stories will be put into next semester’s printing of the Ink Quill Society magazine.  So no matter how you look at it, your story will get published!

If anyone is interested in submitting a Christmas story to The Fayetteville Observer, the deadline is November 30^th.   Here is a link to more information about the contest and the rules for entry.  http://fayobserver.com/fayobserver.com/files/6d/6d9f5e35-48ee-45e1-a3e0-a0e14d8ae999.pdf

Have fun writing and Be Creative!
