Background

Each semester the Academic Writing Program publishes a resource guide. It explains the writing goals and practices of English 130 to in-coming students. An important part of the resource guide is a sampling of student essays that represent some of the best research writing from the previous semester. 

To Submit an Essay

If you have an essay that you are especially proud of, please submit it to the essay contest! Writing professors will select three winners from the submissions who, along with having their essays published in the spring 2008 program handbook, will receive a gift certificate from the AS Bookstore.

The process for submitting your essay is simple:

2. Submit your essay via e-mail to the following address: jswiencicki@csuchico.edu
