Writing for Voices Magazine

Dear Students,

I've spoken with some of you about getting your writing published in the LCC magazine, "Voices." The deadline for submission is this Friday. Please revise your work and send it to me.

If you'd like to write something else, you are welcome to do so. Maybe one of your funny stories would be worth sharing.
