YWP Newspaper Series -- Week 35

WEEK 35 -- June 3, 2008
Our last publishing week is June 17 and submissions are closed for this year. HOWEVER, we are accepting submissions for potential publication this Fall, so if you've got some great work, SUBMIT IT as an Entry and choose "Fall -- General Writing" as the prompt.

(And no, you aren't dreaming. GG was on his way to getting sick last Friday and if some of this looks familiar, well, he published some stuff a week in advance!)
