StoryWalk Writing Submissions!
Friday, April 02, 2021 - Monday, April 19, 2021 / All Day
Utica is building a Storywalk in Proctor Park for May! The Storywalk will feature children's storybooks on one side and adult reading level short stories and poems on the other side. We're looking for some emerging writers in our area to submit a short story or poem to be featured on the adult side. These stories should be no more than 15-20 pages so that we can feature multiple authors at the same time. While these stories will be on a different side than the children's storybooks, please keep in mind that children & families may read them, so please keep it PG-13 for consideration. We will be reviewing all submissions and will contact you if your story/poem has been chosen. This is a great opportunity for a new or emerging writer to get their work published in a fun and new way!
Please contact Gabrielle at 315-735-2279 ext 201 or by email gkinney@uticapubliclibrary.org with any questions (email is preferred). Submissions for the first storywalk must be submitted by April 18th to be considered for our May launch date. Please include your name, the name you would like published on the storywalk, phone number, email address, and any (optional) social media handles you would like included where people can find more of your work. By submitting your work, you give us permission to take pictures of the storywalk and post to our website and social media platforms with credit. We can give you the credit line for you to add to a resume/CV if wanted.
