Opportunity for Young Gifted Writers

From an email I received:

Hello,

If you're receiving this email from me it's because you:

1) are the parent of a gifted child,
2) teach or work with gifted children, or
3) know someone who is the parent and/or teacher of gifted children.

I am the new assistant editor for the TAG (Talented and Gifted) Progeny section of the Mensa Research Journal. The MRJ has added this section as a forum for gifted young writers. Each issue is themed, and one article related to that theme will run in the TAG Progeny section. Please think about the children (under 21) that you know who are good writers, and have them contact me if they are interested in working with me to write an article. It is very prestigious, and they would not be all alone - I would be working right along with them. PLEASE forward this to anyone you know who would be interested in this opportunity. Below are the upcoming themes and issues.

Theme (Issue):

Fibromyalgia (Supplemental 2006)
Spatial Intelligence (Winter 2007)
Awards for Excellence (Summer 2007)
Gifted in the Workplace (Fall 2007)
Homeschooling TAG Children (Supplemental 2007)

Thanks for your help in getting the word out. It really is an exciting opportunity for a young gifted writer.

Cindy

I love the use of Stetson with the acronym HATS (High Achieving Talented Students) :) :) :)

I'll have to show this to Meredith :). She'll just say "I'm not a good writer" or something to that extent, but it'll be worth a try.
