[OPLINLIST] Ohio Writers' Conference - opportunity for ABLE students

[Janet Ingraham Dwyer]

Each year, the Ohio Literacy Resource Center <http://literacy.kent.edu/>
invites ABLE students to submit writing for possible publication in
Beginnings <http://literacy.kent.edu/beginnings/> . Since 1998,
Beginnings has included writing of all genres - poetry, short stories,
stream of consciousness, memoirs, essays, letters, and personal
histories.

 

Students of all literacy levels and abilities have been published in
Beginnings and honored at the conferences. Entries are evaluated in a
blind review process and judged on the following criteria: content,
organization/structure, creativity, and mechanics.  After the selections
have been made, the chosen authors are invited to the annual Ohio
Writers' Conference where professional authors and storytellers provide
them with guidance and inspiration in expanding and improving their
writing.  The day culminates in the presentation of certificates, an
autograph session, and voluntary reading of manuscripts.  The Conference
is an opportunity for Ohio ABLE students to be applauded for their
efforts and accomplishments.

 

The 16th annual Ohio Writers' Conference will be held on May 10, 2013,
at The Conference Center at OCLC in Dublin, Ohio.  Author Mike Mullin is
the keynote speaker for the 2013 event.  The deadline for submissions is
February 7, 2013.
