Whether you are a student, a teacher, a parent, a grandparent, a business owner, a white– or blue-collar employee, or even a legislator, writing is an important part of your life. You write daily for lots of reasons—whether for your job, for your teacher, or for pleasure. You also write in a large number of mediums—from grocery lists and text messages to blogs, memos, and emails; from letters, essays, and reports to stories and poems.
Join millions of writers as we celebrate the National Day on Writing here in Northwest Missouri. We invite you to write before, during, and after the day and to submit a piece of writing—any kind of writing—to our local, digital Gallery of Writing. Prizes will also be awarded to the most ingenious, interesting, vivid works.
For more information, including submission guidelines for the Gallery, teacher templates for teaching writing, and additional writing activities for the National Day on Writing:
