1 Aug 2016Just curious because I didn’t see what the event or project was, but will this be an anthology for the web? Something printed or an exhibition?

13 Aug 2016Awesome. We’re past the deadline, but I’ll keep a look out for future calls for submission. I’m a librarian in a tiny town NC, and I work with a lot of talented Xicanx teens. I feel like their stories are often overlooked, navigating life in the middle of the woods with folks who have seldom met anyone whose great grandparents didn’t grow up in town and are still trying to pass laws to defy integration.
