To support the homeschool community, WriteGuide, the writing curriculum source that I reviewed last week, founded the Homeschool Literary Quarterly, an online publication that will publish and promote literary works written by homeschool writers. We’ll publish poems, essays, stories, memoirs, and articles. The publication will be 100% free. Like any literary magazine, The Homeschool Literary Quarterly is very much a community endeavor. The magazine will need skilled writers to submit their work for publication. They will need artists and eventually, student-editors. The first edition will be out by Christmas!
