Last chance for Grizzly Tales

Grizzly Tales permission slip

I am once again inviting each and every one of my students to include one piece of your writing in Grizzly Tales, Essays, and Poems: Spring 2008. I know that each of you has something worth saying to the world, and I encourage you to do so.

You just completed a short story and should have been given a permission slip to take home — if not, there’s one above. If you want to publish something else (a story, poem, or essay), please email it to me and send in a completed and signed permission slip with a printed copy of the work.

I need both the electronic version of the work, and the permission slip, by the last day of school. The sooner you bring it, the better. I will post an announcement when the book is ready to read or order online from http://mrheyer.com/grizzly-tales/

I look forward to seeing what you turn in to get published!
