From Glyn Strange, School for Young Writers :
Our organisation runs an important competition for teenagers every year. It's called the Re-Draft competition and the excellent Re-Draft books that result from it come out around this time of year. I am in the process of sending standing order copies to schools, public libraries, universities and polytechnics. Always happy to hear from schools that have not yet picked up on this fabulous opportunity for teenage writers. This year's Re-Draft book, the 9th in the series, is Fishing for Birds. Copies cost $30. The 2010 entry form is in the back and the deadline is 30th September.
In our twice-yearly Write On magazine (see attached) we are running a competition open to all with the fabulous Oxford New Zealand Dictionary (all 1300+ pages of it) as the prize for three age groups. When I send out copies of Fishing for Birds I enclose complimentary copies of this magazine -- hoping, of course, that schools might get excited and subscribe! It is also possible to subscribe to Write On at a cheap rate of only $10 a year. For this you receive only one copy per issue but we are grateful for that support and it allows your students to enter the competition. If either of these options interests anyone, please contact me soon. Stocks are running low.
Regards, Glyn Strange.
