Submission Call for EGVPLYS Literary Magazine

The EGVPL Youth department is thrilled to announce a call for writing submissions to our NEW youth literary magazine, Elk Grove Echoes. This is an exciting opportunity for young writers to experience the writing process and get their work published! The prompt for the winter issue is “Write about a place that is important to you.”. Submissions can be any genre of writing under 500 words as long as it adheres to the topic. We are also accepting artwork for the magazine; however, artwork must be accompanied by a 150-word length paragraph about the topic of “Change” and the art piece. The works can be in any language, as long as an English translation is also supplied. All submissions must be school-appropriate (G-rated). Submissions will be accepted until Tuesday, December 31. To submit pieces and/or for more information, contact Olivia Zimmerman at ozimmerman@egvpl.org.
