Storied Stuff’s second annual writing contest is on! Info is under “How to Submit.” You can now order STORIED STUFF, the first paperback collection of Storied Stuff essays and pix. All proceeds go to assist not for profits. Our reading to a packed house at the Glencoe Library on July 9 was a big success. You can view the video—easy to dip in and out of—here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx3tTqsJ_EI
