Ohio Teachers Write is a literary magazine published annually by OCTELA and devoted to the poetry and prose of Ohio Teachers in all fields. Our purpose is to:

• Provide a collection of literature for the reading pleasure of teachers and other adult readers

• Encourage teachers to compose literary works along with their students

• Provide the citizens of Ohio a connection with Ohio educators and a window into the world of educators not often seen by those outside the teaching profession.

Submission Guidelines

OCTELA invites Ohio educators (active or retired, kindergarten through college) in all fields to submit up to three works of poetry or short literary prose (maximum 1500 words each) for consideration by January 25, 2011 for publication in spring of 2012.  Are you new to the classroom? - don't be shy about sharing your writing - it would be a great example to your students! Please mail five copies of up to three submissions with a cover letter that includes your name, each submission title, email, phone number, and address. Send submissions to Sally Lamping, or submit work
electronically (in Microsoft Word format) to ohioteacherswrite@gmail.com.
