The first issue was only four pages long and allowed students an opportunity to show others outside their classroom the results of clear thinking and written expression. Now, four times a year, Fine Lines is sixty pages of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry written by students, teachers, and community members of all ages.

We receive prose articles of medium length, reflective essays on widely diverse topics including authors' life experiences and what individuals learn through the writing process, and poetry in all forms from students in schools across the nation, plus Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Dubai, Ireland, Japan, Switzerland, and Thailand.

Writers of all ages and occupations are encouraged to submit to Fine Lines. We have printed poetry by an eight-year old third grader and several pieces by a ninety-year old great, great grandmother. We printed the work of students, janitors, doctors, lawyers, ministers, truck drivers, nurses, and scientists.

If you want to read the interesting and controversial ideas of others, Fine Lines is for you. Send us a submission of your own writing in the near future. You might become a published author.

Remember, if it is not written down, it did not happen.

Write on,

David Martin
