Writing Contests for One-of-a-Kind Kids
Portico Books has partnered with
Thumbprint Press, a publisher of books for children, to
create The Grannie Annie -- A Family Story Celebration. The
Grannie Annie invites students in U.S. grades 4-8, and
homeschool and international students aged 9-14 to interview
their family storykeepers to discover stories from their
family's history. When the stories are brought to life in
written form, they can be shared with others and preserved for
future generations. Each year selected stories are published in
a new volume of
Grannie Annie -- so students have a chance to become
published authors!
The annual submission deadline is February 14. Orders for the
new volume are taken until April 30, and the new book is
available in May.
Complete contest details, including guidelines and entry form,
are available at
TheGrannieAnnie.org.
Now The Grannie Annie offers free online resources to facilitate the submission
process:
• a calendar to help pace work on submissions
• a letter that teachers can send to parents, informing them about The Grannie
Annie
• a poster to spark interest
• tips/mini-lessons to guide students with their interviewing, writing, and
revising
Submitting students' work to The Grannie Annie -- and possibly having students
become published authors -- has never been easier! |
