WHEN:  Deadline for submissions is August 10. DEADLINE EXTENDED TO AUGUST 22!

WHERE:  Email questions and/or your short story to teenunderground@ccpl.org, or drop off a copy of your story at the Main Library’s Young Adult Services desk. Or, snail mail it to:

Young Adult Services, Charleston County Public Library

68 Calhoun Street

Charleston, SC 29401

(Entries must be postmarked August 22 or earlier.)

WHY:  For fun and practice. Oh, and:
