Hey all you poetry lovers out there!
Do you have a knack for written verse? Are you the go-to one in your group of friends when it comes to scripting a clever rhyme? How would you like the opportunity to have your work published beside some great poets and some of the awesome young ladies we sponsor through She’s the First?
We’re proud to introduce our first She’s the First poetry anthology, “If the World Were My Classroom.” This is guaranteed to be a keepsake packed full with impactful poetry from around the globe.
We’ve come up with the prompts but now we need you to voice your verse! We are accepting submissions for the anthology through February 29th on shesthefirst.org & on zinch.com.
What does it mean to Voice Your Verse? Our poetry host, Azure Antoinette, will tell you:
Editors @hannahkatyb, @azureantoinette, and @oysterconcept cannot wait to dig into all the great pieces that roll in and pick the top notch verses to be published in our anthology, coming out just in time for National Poetry Month in April (copies will be available in paperback and digital download)!
But we haven’t even said the best part of this campaign yet… 100% of proceeds for the book and will go towards girls’ education! Your verses will give other girls the opportunity to go to school and be bright shiners within their own communities.
Students in the U.S., this is a special bonus for you! Be sure to submit via the Zinch contest!
TAKE NOTE! If you’re a student, submit your entry via Zinch.com -- they’re awarding one of you with a $500 scholarship for the best poem, and Chegg for Good is MATCHING that with a $500 scholarship for Jancy, the student we sponsor in India!
It doesn’t matter if you are a spoken word poet or someone who has never stitched a rhyme together before, we want you to get involved! Make your mark and inspire others with what you have to say today.

Happy Scripting!
