MEWSIE and Montclair State writing professor DAVID GALEF writes: Starting this fall, Montclair State University will have a creative writing minor. The students are talented, and we want to reward the best with annual awards in both fiction and poetry. Would anyone out there be interested in sponsoring one of these contests to the tune of $100-200 per year? It’s a good opportunity not just to support the arts but also to plug whatever business or individual is supplying the funds. We have a printed pamphlet listing sponsors and an annual awards night where the sponsors can make short speeches.
