@LitCoachLady Good question--like a one stop shop? I don't know of one--just collect them as I come across them. Anyone else? #TeachWriting

YES! Publication has some great essay contests. They also give solid feedback and foster resilience if pieces do not get pub #TeachWriting

skeeTX Oct 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT
