In some instances, the workbook exercises will serve as a catalyst for students to move beyond their personal stories and discuss ways to take action about topics and issues that matter to them. If you would like to submit your learner's writing, we would love to see it. We are looking for stories that read in a powerful and direct way because the words come from the lives and hearts of the authors. We are looking for powerful learner writing, from beginning through advanced levels for the upcoming Voices issue. We need to receive all submissions no later than December 1, 2000.
Voices is committed to using strong, personal learner writing.
We are also committed to maintaining the voice and authenticity of the stories. These stories may include a light copy edit for meaning or the odd spelling correction. However, the author will still retain final approval in order that the story be printed as intended. If the authors are comfortable with having their picture taken, we will work with designated program staff to locate and contract a photojournalist for the author's portrait. The cost of the photography will be borne by Voices .
