We Want Your Masterpiece!

Hai there beloved students of SMK USJ 13! If you happen to be able to produce fantastic essays, short-stories, poems, anime drawings, comics even really fun and exciting quizzes and are not afraid to let the world read your creations, please submit them to be printed in this year's magazine. To all the aspiring young writers (i'm sure our school has an abundance of talented people) please, please, please do submit your masterpieces. The first step of letting the universe know how talented you are is by showcasing your work in the school magazine. It can either be in English, Bahasa Melayu, Mandarin, Tamil or tulisan Jawi. Some guides:

1. Please DO NOT write something that can cause racial tension among students. Remember, we are all Malaysians no matter the colour of our skin.

2. Please REFRAIN from using four-letter words and swear words. This is a SCHOOL MAGAZINE people, there are those below the age of 18 reading it.

3. Be as creative as possible. This is your canvas after all. However, please DO NOT COPY works that have been published either on the internet or in books. That would be the same as STEALING!

4. It would be a good idea to let a teacher examine or read through your work before submitting it as we want to avoid any grammatical errors and what not. Also, the teacher would be able to determine whether or not the theme of your story/essay/poem/comic is appropriate

5. If possible, please base your creation on something that is relevant to all students as they are the ones who will be reading the magazine.

6. To those who would like to dedicate their poem/story/anime/comic to someone or a group of people, please include that in your scripts. Your dedication will be placed on the same page as your work.

OK, I think that's about it. I will post more information in due course and if there are any questions and inquries, please don't hesitate to post a reply. We (the editorial board) will help you the best we can. On a last note, please, please, please submit your work. All contributions are welcomed with a warm and grateful heart. Thank you!
