Greetings GCC Writers,
Following is a Call for Papers from Santa Barbara City College for their literary journal Painted Cave. Note that the “contest” is free, is run by community college students, and is limited to community college student writers.
In a nutshell, your chances are good.
🙂
I might also point out that the categories are by genre AND word count for all of us that whine about word count…
—————————
I’m Chella Courington, faculty adviser for Painted Cave Literary Journal at Santa Babara City College (CA). The journal is specifically for student writers at community colleges across the nation. We launched our second issue in December 2014 and the third issue comes out in May. I would like to ask your assistance in distributing the call to your students and to your colleagues so they can pass it on to their students.
