Annual Publishing Opportunity for Young People

The Grannie Annie Family Story Celebration invites students in U.S. grades 4 through 8, and homeschooled and international students 9 through 14 years of age 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!

Complete details, including guidelines and submission form, are available at TheGrannieAnnie.org. The annual submission deadline is February 1. 

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!
