I'm going to use this blog post to make a sales pitch for Driftwood. First I would like to encourage everyone to buy a copy of the Driftwood anthology. Your fellow McFarland high schoolers put a lot of energy into their contributions to the anthology and if they're going to put their voice out there, it should most certainly be heard.
Secondly, I would like to advocate for submission to next years Driftwood anthology for those Juniors out there. It's a great chance to be published and to gain some community recognition for your literary and artistic talents. Plus it looks good on college applications and scholarships. I recommend it for anyone serious about the craft of writing.
And lastly, I would like to make a case to join the Driftwood committee. It really impacted my senior year. I was able to read other authors and be inspired by their work and creativity. I gained a much better appreciation for the process of editing and revision. And it made me feel a part of a tight-knit literary community. Any involvement with Driftwood will prove to be positive experience.
