Film Review

In January we are starting our book project with 826 Boston. The theme? Film!

Our initial reading of TKAM and PoL films will be expanded as we compose film reviews. Partnering with Write the World, we will take part in their January Writing Prompt and hold a Film Critic Panel.

While the film review due date is 1/19 for our class, you can also submit your review early to be professionally edited by Write the World!

The instructions are at our Write the World group, and here is some important info:
Prizes   
Best Entry: $100 (winning piece + author interview will be featured on Write the World’s website and blog)  
Runner up: $50  
Best Peer Review: $50 (reviewer interview will be featured on Write the World’s website and blog)  
    

What’s Different about Write the World Competitions?  
Prizes: The winning entrant will receive $100, and the runner-up and best peer-reviewer will receive $50.  
Professional Recognition: The winning entry, plus the runner-up and best peer review, will be featured on our blog, with commentary from our guest judge.
