Hello,
We
are two grade 12 students from Stelly's Secondary and we are looking
for aspiring writers to be published in our upcoming magazine. We
obtained your contact information through our Vice Principal, Tina
Pierik. We are looking for people who have a creative writing style that
can captivate an audience and are interested in furthering intellectual
thought in adults and youth alike. Our publication is still in the
works and can not get on its feet until we have a vast well of writers
to draw upon. We hope you will be able to pass this on to English
teachers at your school and that they may contacts us with
talented students looking for a jumping board to further their writing.
Our kindest regards, hoping to hear from you soon,
Connor Williamson and Samantha Radons
