An Email I Received Today...

Dear Chippewa Falls Public Library,

Greetings from Wisconsin People & Ideas, the magazine of Wisconsin thought and culture. As you might know, our annual poetry and short story contests are in full swing. These two contests are a great way for previously unpublished writers to get into print, participate in the Wisconsin Book Festival, and win some cash, too. I would really appreciate it if you could help spread the word about both of these contests or give them some form of coverage in any capacity you see fit. Whatever you can do is great. Thanks. Here’s a blurb with link below and I’m including a PDF of the contest flyer as well:

THE 2011 WISCONSIN PEOPLE & IDEAS / WISCONSIN BOOK FESTIVAL SHORT STORY AND POETRY CONTESTS
Wisconsin People & Ideas magazine regularly publishes some of the best poetry and fiction from around the state, and now it's your chance to become a part of Wisconsin's new literary canon. Enter your poems and short stories in our annual contests, which are open to all Wisconsin residents and students until December 15, and you could win up to $500 and other prizes along with publication in Wisconsin People & Ideas and a reading at the 2011 Wisconsin Book Festival in Madison. For more information and complete contest guidelines, visit Wisconsin People & Ideas online at wisconsinacademy.org/magazine.

The direct link to the contest page is here if you plan on posting online:
