Plymouth Writers GroupPlymouth Writers Group is compiling its eleventh annual anthology of teachers' writing. Our title and theme for this year's volume is Points of Connection. We are looking for fiction, essays, poetry and narrative which speak to those moments which seem to define or redefine who we are and our place in the world. Sometimes insights can occur in an ordinary moment, sometimes extraordinary circumstances bring us into a confrontation with ourselves, or sometimes only in looking back on a situation, in re-visiting it through writing are we able to understand its significance and the light it sheds on all of our experience. We are soliciting writings from teachers about defining moments in the classroom or in other parts of life. While we are interested in personal narrative essays based on classroom life, we do not publish scholarly work, or editorials related to the teaching profession, as our focus is on the publication of creative literary work.Please send two clean copies of your manuscript. Prose manuscripts should be 500-3,000 words in length and single spaced (approximately 1-6 pages). The name, address, telephone number and teaching affiliation of the author should be included on a title page, but not on the manuscripts. Please send no more than three pieces, no more than two of which may be prose. Send manuscripts to: Meg PetersenDeadline: Submissions must be received no later than March 31, 2004 in order to be considered. We will provide an e-mail acknowledgement of receipt upon request. Please send a SASE for our decision. No manuscripts will be returned. Final decisions will be made on or before May 30, 2004. Authors will be contacted regarding accepted submissions.
