DSC_0209

The Kenosha Writers Guild is going into the studio to record its next radio program on Friday, January 15th, at Gateway Technical College in Kenosha.
No special guests are planned, so it will be a general open mic. If you want to read more than the usual guidelines, it shouldn’t be a problem this month, depending on how many folks submit.
If you are interested in reading your work on the air, please see the following submission guidelines:
Submission Guidelines
– any form – prose, poetry, play, essay, script, etc.
– subject matter is not an issue, but language can be, so be mindful. Strong language is discouraged, so if you have a piece with rough language, edit it or submit an alternative.
– 1000 word count, give or take. You may submit more than one piece if the total doesn’t exceed 1000 words, but in order to get as many readers as possible, only one piece may be selected for performance on air. If only a few people submit, you may be able to read more, so feel free to bring extra.
– submissions should be e-mailed to Chris DeGuire at darthdeguire@yahoo.com preferably in Courier font.
The deadline for submissions will be Wednesday, January 13th. Selected readers will be notified by Thursday the 14th.

Any questions, please email Chris. Thanx.
