Submit!

There are only a few more days until the March 20th deadline for the writing competition–have you submitted your writing yet? There are many different categories, so there is sure to be one that fits the writing you’ve been working on lately. Notice in particular the Alan Kay Literary Criticism Award–it’s a new category this year, and it’s the perfect opportunity to revise, proofread, and polish one of your academic essays in which you analyze a literary text.
