The Bakersfield Voice

It’s October! Fall is finally fully upon us, which means that the Northwest’s very own “haunt” is now open for business! Check out  the amazing Talladega Frights, then let me know what you think!

My days have been busy! Special shout out to Miss Pate’s & Mr. Kramer’s classes at Almondale Elementary, who invited me to speak about writing. I also spoke to Mrs. Baker’s Bunch at Olive Drive Elementary School, and we talked about the importance of observation as it relates to writing. If your school would like me to visit, just send me an email! I’d be happy to share my love of The Northwest Voice and get kids motivated to become better writers, spellers, and observers!

Also, we are getting a lot of online requests for a free subscription to The Voice, and that’s great! Many of you are checking the box marked “Yes, I’d like to receive the newsletter,” but in order to do that, you’ll need to become a Web site user, too. It’s also free! Just visit: www.northwestvoice.com, and click “Register now.” I will do all the rest.

Some of you might be looking for the highly-anticipated “Senior Citizen” issue that was due to come out this week. We have moved that publication to mid-November. Keep your eye out!

Also in November, the U.S. will select a new President! With that in mind, I am accepting political articles (400 words only) to be included in the next issue. Please submit them via the Web site by Oct. 14 and become a published writer today!
