The fine print regarding newsletter submissions We give writer/illustrator credit to all articles and illustrations used. Articles should not exceed 400 words.

Sand Castle Legends is sent to SCBWI Regional Advisors around the world four times a year – which can be great publicity for you. Other SCBWI chapters (ours included) will sometimes pull articles of interest from other Chapter newsletters and reprint them with appropriate attribution. If you do not want your contribution to be published outside our newsletter, please let Cindy Jenson-Elliott (our editor) know and we will include a notice to that effect. If you do not tell us, we will assume your submission is available for reprinting by other chapters – actually a great way to let people around the world see your work. If you want to know when your submission will be used, email Cindy. She’ll be happy to give you advance notice of publication once your piece is scheduled.
