Publish in the National Gallery of Writing



The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) is a partner in the
National Gallery of Writing, an online exhibition of writing hosted by
the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE). To showcase the
importance of writing in all our lives, NCTE has created a National Day
on Writing (October 20), which will be highlighted by the opening of a
virtual National Gallery of Writing.



NCFL is hosting a gallery, titled Family Portraits, within the National
Gallery of Writing. We hope to fill our gallery with the writings of
families and practitioners who work with families across the nation.
These portraits will be created through the notes, essays, drawings,
poems, and stories of parents, other caregivers, children, grandparents
and other family members as they write to, for and about each other.



Each person can submit one piece of writing that is important to her or
him, i.e., a letter, digital composition, video, blog or e-mail. It just
takes a few minutes to upload your submission. Gallery pieces will not
be unveiled until October 20, 2009, as part of The National Day on
Writing, but submissions are being accepted now and will continue to be
accepted through June 2010. If you would like to participate, submit
your writing to NCFL's gallery at
