Good news for students in grades 9, 10, and 11 who attend high schools in Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon, California. There is a writing contest JUST for you! Categories are poetry, personal essay and short story and prizes awarded will be $125 for first place, $75 for second place and $50 for third in each category. Students may submit up to two pieces.

AND . . . that’s not all! A free writing workshop taught by author Lynn Goodwin will be given on Tuesday, February 5, 2013 from 3:30 – 5 p.m. and held at the Pleasanton Library to help students become inspired and prepared for the contest.
