Index of weekly YWP Newspaper Series 2007-2008

To submit work for potential publication in partner newspapers, you may submit general work done in school or at home or you can send in responses to our weekly writing prompts. The deadline for submitting work for the 2007/08 year in Vermont has passed.

HOWEVER, you can begin to submit work for the 2008-09 school year by submitting under the prompt "Fall -- General writing."

The work can be fiction, non-fiction, essays, poetry, any genre whatsoever. There is no limit on length. You must be from Vermont or greater Lebanon, N.H., to be eligible for publication in the newspapers.

Work must be accurate and your own, unless noted -- in other words, you cannot copy or plagiarize someone else's work. All work must be civil and respectful; you cannot refer to someone specific by name in a manner that would be detrimental, slanderous or libelous towards them. For more guidelines, click here.
