(cross-posted in the Writers and Sept 11 groups)
This memo was distributed by my workplace, and since it said "please circulate widely", I figured that I'd pass along the information to those who may be interested.
It's being run by a group called Global Word Web (out of the University of Alberta). They are requesting submissions from people currently enrolled at universities, aged 18-25. (I'm too old and am not a student anymore, but I know that there are lots of DUers who meet the criteria.) Here are the details ...
"What has your life been like since 9/11?
Global Word Web is putting together a collection of writing on the
post-9/11 era, and we want to tell your story. This book will be a
varied and balanced look at 9/11 and its impact as told by youth.
