My Son’s Rewrite for the Editor of IEW’s Magnum Opus

June 12, 2008

Institute for Excellence in Writing is starting a literary magazine for students who write a true magnum opus.

Encouraging students to choose one piece of writing at the end of each year to rewrite to perfection, IEW publishes selected pieces for their literary magazine, Magnum Opus.

Request from the Editor of Magnum Opus

A few weeks ago, my son received snail mail from IEW regarding his submission to Magnum Opus!

Marking suggestions for improvement, the editor told him how much she enjoyed his paragraph on early Greek Spartans that he wrote for our studies on Ancient Greece.

Would he consider rewriting it with her suggestions? then snail mailing it back to her for consideration for publication in the Magnum Opus magazine?

In the process of rewriting for the editor, my son learned lots of valuable lessons.

The article has been strengthened and resubmitted. 

Now we wait.

Stay tuned!
