L Words Writers’ Blocks has just joined the National Gallery of Writing! For those of you who are unfamiliar with this venue, the National Gallery of Writing was founded by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and its partners to spur writers of all ages and abilities to hone their skills, network with other writers, and experience other written works from the comfort of your home office or living room. The gallery is open for submissions throughout the summer and will be unveiled for public viewing on the National Day of Writing (Tuesday, October 20).

The greatest part of this adventure? Absolutely anybody can participate! Whether you’re an old pro with another book deal in the works, an amateur poet pursuing that one perfect image, or someone who has never considered yourself a writer, the National Gallery is for you. Don’t have the time to write a lengthy piece? Don’t sweat it – the gallery accepts everything from ‘artsy’ lists, letters, and text messages to short stories.

Each applicant may submit one piece for inclusion in the gallery, so make it a good one! We at Writers’ Blocks will be submitting shortly – we’ll keep you posted on what we decide to send in!
