The pen is the weapon in the battle to save the Republic, and only knowledge lets you wield it effectively. The student essay: $250 for the best student essay or editorial. An argument built and signed, not a posture. The standing invitation: not a student? The presses want your hands. Write for the Spirits. No cash and no contest, only column inches and readers. Letters to the editor: always read, the best of them printed. What we print publishes as a Broadside under your own byline, judged against The Printer's Standard.
