Scrap Writing in the Digital Age
| Description: |
This gallery seeks scraps of everyday writing -- lists, post-its, homemade signs and notices, letters, journal entries -- in order to showcase the often unacknowledged, ephemeral writing that pervades ordinary life. Here we can share in collecting, studying, and appreciating the insight, humor, and artistry of everyday "scrap writing." |
Preference given to submissions that attempt to preserve a sense of the scrap's original materiality: please scan or photograph the scrap, rather than retyping it (typed scraps will still be considered, however). Crumpled, torn, stained, or otherwise defiled papers are welcome. No submission is too mundane.
You are eligible to submit one composition (or a link to a composition already posted on the Internet) per gallery. You should not submit the same composition to more than one gallery. When you click "contribute my writing now," you will be prompted for information about your piece and about yourself. You can share this information with readers through the site search engine, or to keep it sheltered from searches. The more information you allow to be public, the more readers for your piece.
Please visit Gallery Guidelines prior to submitting a contribution to the National Gallery of Writing.
