The Janice Beetle Books 2023 Challenge Team Seeks Children’s
Stories and Artwork for a Published Collection of Work
Sponsors also sought for fundraiser that benefits the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction
LACONIA—For the second year, the Janice Beetle Books Challenge Team is inviting chil- dren in the Lakes Region to submit stories or artwork to be published in an anthology that will be sold to raise money for the Greater Lakes Region Chil- dren’s Auction.
Children from preschool through grade 12 can take part by sending a typed, short story or poem and/or a drawing, illus- tration or sketch to Janice Beetle at janice@beetlepress.com.
Pieces of writing should be sent as a Word document, and artwork as high-resolution PNG or JPG files.
A $5 donation per submission is suggested but not required; these funds benefit the auction and can be paid at https://www. givegab.com/teams/janice-bee- tle-books-40fa0d9b-3c75-466c- a3f9-102077c4d7d7.
All stories and artwork must be submitted by June 30. Mate- rial will be compiled in an an- thology that will be available for sale by late fall. For a free copy of last year’s book, or for more information, email janice@bee- tlepress.com.
Because many of the children who contribute do not have the means to buy a book, the fund- raising team wants to help en- sure that all young writers and artists can own the publication their work appears in, so we are also seeking sponsors. Each sponsorship ensures that a child, or children, will receive books, and also ensures a donation to the Auction.
Here are sponsorship levels: • Haiku: $25, gives one book to a child and $20 to the Auction • Poem: $50, gives two books to
children and $40 to the Auc-
tion
• Short story: $100, gives five
children a book and $75 to the Auction
• Novel: $250, gives 20 children a book and $150 to the Auction •Trilogy:$500,gives40children
