Manuscripts can still be submitted through Jan. 31 for the annual Top Drawer and Top Shelf competition sponsored by the Friends of the Homer Public Library. To be eligible for submission, works must be written by residents of the Southern Kenai Peninsula from Ninilchik south, including the communities across Kachemak Bay. All works must be previously unpublished, and can be in any genre, including novels, nonfiction, children's books, plays, collections of articles, essays, poems or short stories.
Accepted works will be included in the library's Top Drawer collection, and a winning entry will be selected for the Top Shelf award. Top Shelf winners are eligible for a publishing package. Ann Keffer's "The Seventh Chair" won last year's Top Shelf award.
"I encourage anybody who has some aspirations in this area to consider this process," Keffer said. "What in the world could it hurt to just go ahead and try?"
Entry forms and submission guidelines are available at the library or online at www.friendshomerlibrary.org. You can call 235-3180 ext 4217 for more information.
