Want to PUBLISH?

Class,I have copied an email from ASWC/NWP that might stimulate interest in some of you to publish some teacher centered writing. This is also a good source for thoughtful materials.

Dear NWP Chapter Leader,

As spring begins, we know that many members of your past summer
workshops must be interested in having some of their work published,
but perhaps their pieces don’t fit within the scope of traditional
education journals, and similarly, many of your participants in this
coming summer’s workshops will be in the same position. That is where
FacultyShack (www.FacultyShack.org) steps in. For seven years we have
published many pieces by NWP members and others looking for a venue
that matched their creativity.

To our knowledge, FacultyShack is still the only education journal of its
kind, publishing jargon-free, thoughtful ideas in creative formats written
by teachers from all areas of the education world. Now, we are branching out
into new territory. Recently, we unveiled an expanded version of our site
which includes blogging capabilities as well as social networking tools.

We believe that we are a perfect match for the work done by the
thousands of NWP participants each summer. In our effort to push
forward with our new plans to spread the word and recruit writers,
NWP members continue to top our list as our most desired participants
and suppliers of articles.

We are not a commercial site with huge funding, so we appreciate any
efforts you have already made or will make to let Writing Project
members know about the opportunity to submit articles to our magazine
and to join our blogging and social networking communities. On the
flip side, we believe that we provide a valuable service for the many
NWP members who have had the opportunity to publish their work in our
magazine, particularly for the authors whose pieces would be
considered too unconventional for other journals.

We are eager to continue the connection with NWP, so please encourage
the members of your Writing Project chapter to submit pieces, and
please visit the site and let us know what you think. If you like what
you see, help us in our outreach effort by letting others know about
us and by joining our community. It is totally free, we will only send
you notices of new issues, and we will never give your address to
anyone.


Thanks for your support and keep in touch,
