DAVENPORT, IOWA (May 13, 2020) — Due to interest in QC Life in The New Normal Writing Project, we’ve added another round of entries — June 30 is the deadline for Phase Two. You may submit pieces even if you’ve already participated in Phase One.

As before, send us your diary entries, essays, or poems to tell us what it's like in your home and your hometown.

In addition, this time we’re hoping to get photos and artifacts, as well as writing pieces. If you have any photos related to working from home, signs you’ve seen posted, documents, letters, memos, or anything you’d like to share, please send them our way.

Written submissions (your original writing pieces)  are eligible for gift cards — to Crafted QC, The Book Rack, or for a writing magazine subscription.

Submit your writing or photos three different ways:
