Submitting Creative Work to The Leaky Pen

The Leaky Pen is a publication of the Coralville Public Library's Teen Writer's Workshop based in Coralville, Iowa.

The Leaky Pen accepts creative work from teens living in the Coralville/Iowa City/ Johnson County area. Guidelines for submissions are as follows:

  1. The editors will accept written work in plain text format or Microsoft Word. Submissions will be read but not edited for grammar or spelling. We highly recommend the use of spelling and grammar check software.
     
  2. The editors encourage the submission of digital artwork. Artwork will be displayed in .jpg or .gif formats.
     
  3. Short movies in Microsoft .wmv format will be accepted.
     
  4. Although we will do our best to display all work submitted, the editors do not guarantee the posting of all work. All work should be submitted by email to CPL Teen Services,  teens@coralville.lib.ia.us . Work may be created and copies may be made at the Library's public computer workstations. Include your full name and email or phone number with your submission(s); the editors  will use your first name only on creative work unless you specify a pen name.
     
  5. We (the editors) are assuming that the work you submit is original and has not been submitted to other publications that may have copyright over the material.
