The National Association of Independent Writing Evaluators

Because writers shouldn't have to work alone...

National Words Matter Week 2008

26 February 2008

For Immediate Release:

Resisting the slippery slope of verbal carelessness can be a lonely position sometimes!

The National Association of Independent Writing Evaluators invites you to join us during the first week of March to share word-related stories and activities for the first annual Words Matter Week. Our goal for this week is to highlight the importance of words in communication. Submissions will be posted on the Event Board, and can be used by teachers to spark classroom discussions.

You're welcome to submit stories about Word Super-Heros--people or organizations that work to shore up the standards of written English; funny errors you've spotted in print; and recommendations of good resources for logophiles (word lovers). Our only request is that all comments and submissions be completely family-friendly. Welcome; enjoy!
