The contest invites writers to submit poetry or short, non-fiction prose about a real place/person/ event or object within the Greater Lansing (Michigan) Area. In both categories (poetry & prose), the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place winners, plus two Honorable Mention winners will receive cash awards. All submissions will be considered for publication in a book about the Greater Lansing Area. The contest deadline is July 14, 2023. For full contest guidelines, see: https://www.facebook.com/My-Secret-Lansing-Writing-Contest The workshop facilitator will be Ruelaine Stokes, poet, performance artist and president of the Lansing Poetry Club. Ruelaine has taught writing—both creative writing and non-fiction—for many years at Lansing Community College, Michigan State University, and in community workshops. Her writing can be found in "4 Against the Wall" (2005) and "Jar of Plenty" (2021).
