Remember:
Bring a hard copy of your manuscript. Email me a copy as well. Send it to aurora@shaw.ca Put your name in the subject line.
Make sure you have a cover page for your manuscript.
Also, bring a copy of THE story you plan on submitting to The Claremont Review contest. Make sure you do NOT have your name on this one.
Bring the remaining stories or one story or postcard story to submit to the Claremont Review's spring issue.
For this one you need:
A double spaced, impeccably edited copy of the story with your name on it.
A cover letter. See their website for guidelines or use the one you sent them in October. Submission Guidelines The Claremont Review
AND YOU NEED A STAMP. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A STAMP, BRING 85 CENTS. IF YOU BRING A DOLLAR, IT WILL COST YOU A DOLLAR AS THE OFFICE DOES NOT HAVE CHANGE. (HA HA) As I re-read these bolded statements I laughed as they reminded me of the story, "Orientation" that we read. I'm still laughing (just not as well as Prasant).
I will provide the envelopes you need.
Today: We sent a story to Polyphony H.S. and one to Aerie electronically. I will need to see your "sent" files by Thursday, please.
Wed: Sending all our work to The Claremont Review, catching up on marks, etc. BCTELA, Aerie, Polyphony etc
Thurs: Reading: Prepare a piece to read to the class. You will have 3 minutes each so it can be a couple of poems, a post card, an excerpt or scene from a story and a poem, etc. Think about what you will read.
We can bring in refreshments to share. Sign up during class tomorrow.
