Posted

Providence, R.I. – October marks the kick-off of School One and Goat Hill’s Write Rhode Island short fiction competition for Rhode Island students. Write Rhode Island promotes and celebrates student creativity and writing.

In November, Introduction to Fiction Class will be offered at the Weaver Library (East Providence) on Saturday, November 10th, from 1-3:00p.m. This class is designed for teens in grades 7-12 and includes an introduction to creative writing, examples of short fiction and feedback on their work. Maryann Ullman, writer, School One faculty and creative writing instructor, will lead the class at the Weaver Library. To sign up, contact lperry@eplib.org.

The Write Rhode Island competition is open to all public, private, parochial or home-school students throughout the Ocean State. The deadline to submit a piece is Sunday, December 9, 2018, and additional information and full competition guidelines can be found at www.school-one.org. Winners will be announced in Spring 2019. Winners will receive a cash prize, get their work published or exhibited and participate in a statewide reading.

“Write Rhode Island guidelines for submission are simple, it must be a work of fiction by a RI student in grades 7-12 and incorporate Rhode Island in some way. This year we’ve designed visual prompts based on Rhode Island landmarks and unique places to help students explore Rhode Island,” said Diana Champa, Literary Arts and Outreach Director at School One.
