Teen girl writers wanted for a book of essays

NY-based writer/editor Amy Goldwasser is looking for entries from teenage girls for a book of essays she's editing called Bloody Red Heart.

The idea for this book came when Goldwasser was at Seventeen Magazine and persisted as she realized that teens' interminable texting.. is also creating a highly literate culture of young people who are comfortable with the written word.

Goldwasser tells FBLA: I've spent six months of my own time, no pay at all, putting together this book - ”because I believe in the girls and have been blown away by their writing. I received almost 800 essays from my last call, in March, from nearly every state in the US and including Iraq, Israel, Bahrain, Japan, India, England, the Netherlands."

[Submit entries by Dec. 19.]
