Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey will publish its first annual anthology of Grade 7-12 student writing and artwork this spring.

The anthology will be titled A’tukowinu’k, meaning “storytellers”.

Submissions of art work which accompanies or prompts a piece of writing are requested, in particular.

Multiple genres and writing formats will be included in the publication. Some examples include narrative or persuasive text, biographical or autobiographical pieces, letters, journal entries, poetry, comic strips, cartoons, and essays, among others. You are only limited by your imagination.

Submission process:

• Teachers are invited to choose two pieces of student writing from each of the classes they teach;
• Selections should be students’ best original work;
• Pieces (and questions) should be edited and sent digitally to brenda@kinu.ca; and
• Deadline for submissions is Thursday, April 30, 2015.

Work submitted will be published in a book/anthology of student writing. The title and cover page of the book will be decided via a contest. Details to follow. An event will be held in June to honour our student authors and present them with their published work. Students whose work is published, as well as their teachers, schools, and school boards, will receive a copy of the book.
