National Gallery of Writing
On Thursday, October 8, 2009, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution declaring October 20 as the National Day on Writing!
Get Involved: Learn what you can do and see what others are doing. Consider ways to showcase your writing-–great and small, whether text, audio, or video-–in the NCTE National Gallery of Writing.
Submit your Writing: Make your contribution(s) to the National Gallery of Writing which opened to the world on October 20.
Start a Local Gallery: A local gallery can be any group, including a family, a few good friends, a club or church group, a class, a school, a workplace group, or an entire city who wants to see their work collected together inside the National Gallery.
Connect with Us: Share your ideas and connect with others online at the NCTE NING Group, become a fan on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.
