You could have your work published in The Seventh Annual Adult Learner Essay Book! TLC Online is proud to announce the launch of the Florida Adult and Family Literacy Resource Center Annual Adult Learner Writing Campaign.

Submit your story, poem or autobiographical narrative essay to:
Linda Pruitt - lindap@dadeschools.net

Free copies of the book will also be made available to all literacy organizations.
