YARDSTICK BOOKSHOP AND GALLERY 

Yardstick is thrilled to be part of Algoma, Wisconsin's annual ART OF WATER celebration to be held this May, 2019.  Opening weekend is Friday, May 3 - Sunday, May 5, 2019.  

Water is the most crucial resource for life.  Yardstick is seeking submissions to be included in a small, limited-run book focusing on water. The work could be about serious topics such as water conservation and protection, but it could also be celebrating water in all of its forms.  The Art of Water event was inspired by our local Lake Michigan shoreline and its preservation, but includes ideas and personal experiences of water in every locale.  Water can attract and beckon us, and endanger us. Our hope is that by celebrating the beauty and necessity of water in our lives that we can better protect it. 

Yardstick is the event's sole literary participant and we are now open for submissions of nonfiction essays, personal essays, fiction, poetry and experimental work, up to 25 pages in length.  The submission deadline is March 31, 2019.
