Reminder: Young Writer Gallery Guidelines

- Each submission should be no more than three 8.5” x 11” pages.
- Submissions must be handwritten or typed and must be legible. If typed, font size should be at least 12 pts.

- Pieces may include illustrations, but they should make up no more than 75% of the total work and will count toward the three-page limit. All illustrations must be created by the child.
- Submissions must be delivered ready to mount. Library staff will mount the pieces.
- Writing must be kid- and family-friendly, school-appropriate, and free of offensive or discriminatory language.
- Library staff reserves the right to reject any submission that does not follow these gallery guidelines.
- Submissions are displayed in a public space, and the library cannot guarantee against loss or damage.
