Attention, poets & fiction writers from New Jersey: It's your turn to apply for the Maureen Egen Writers Exchange Award from Poets & Writers, Inc. While the "all-expenses-paid visit" to New York City provided to the winners may not seem all that exceptional if you live in the Garden State, each awardee also receives a $500 honorarium, a public reading, and an optional one-month residency at the Jentel Artist Residency Program in Wyoming. Plus, your journey to NYC won't be just any ordinary trip via the PATH or New Jersey Transit: this New York City visit will facilitate meetings with editors, agents, publishers, and other writers. Deadline is December 1, 2009. There's no entry fee.

Some go seeking commune with nature; others to escape. Diverse park experiences are desired. Although we enjoy tree-hugging epiphanies, we also want to read about day-to-day life, and the societal implications of living in the park. What happened there, and how did it influence your life? Writers will receive $100 for their story and one copy of the collection." Deadline: January 5, 2010.

Thank you, Jacqueline, and welcome to the blog!
Thank you for posting information on submitting poetry. I have written 52 read-aloud poems for children to develop their linguistic abilities, but haven't had the nerve to submit it anywhere! Plus, I am a disabled Mom of a ddisabled child, who, through rhyming, developed linguistic ability although he has agenesis of the corpus callosum (missing the mid section of the brain that connects the left and right brains and grows into the fourth decade and beyond). I want to spread the word about overcoming neurological disabilities or even preventing them, but don't quite know how to do so. Thank you again for your blog!
Thank you, Jennifer, and all the best to you and your son.
