July 6th Deadline for Wren’s Nest Publishing Co. Submissions


Written on July 2, 2009 at 3:21 pm, by Amelia

Calling all teenagers!  Or, most likely, calling all parents, family friends, and teachers of teenagers!

The Wren’s Nest Publishing Co.’s newest literary journal, recently christened Wayfarer’s Diary will be accepting fiction, non-fiction, artwork, essays, poetry and anything else you can think of through July 6th.

Here are some darned convincing reasons the high school student in your life should submit:

  • The journal will be showcased at the Decatur Book Festival with an audience of 80,000.
  • This is the only publication created by and for the festival.  Pretty neat.
  • Every decision regarding the journal — from what gets published to the order of the pieces to its marketing approach — is decided by our team of editors, all of whom are Atlanta-area high school students.
  • Um, so they can say they’re published on their college applications, derr.

The submission cover sheet can be found here, and all submissions should be sent to wrensnestsubmissions@gmail.com.  Easy.

Plus, I’m pretty sure it’s a proven fact that the best pieces of literary work in history have been born out of BBQ and fireworks.  Look it up, geniuses.

Spread the word, please!

EDIT: Eagle-eye reader Jessica pointed out that I missed an “s” in the gmail address above.  Whoops!  It’s all correct now.
