[stylist] FW: This I Believe Essay Submission

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hello,

Below is an email from the Public Radio program "This I Believe." I hope all
of you will pray for me.  I submitted an essay on Louis Braille.  I just
thought of it this past weekend, so it probably won't make it for Jan. 4,
his birthday.  It is a fun exercise.  I urge any of you who feels like a
challenge to try.  I did not know, but, each writer whose essay is selected
is paid $200.  That is not my primary motivation, though I would enjoy the
satisfaction of being paid for my writing.

Dear FrederickFirst Name WurtzelLast Name:

You have successfully submitted your essay to This I Believe. Thank you for
being part of our project!

Should your essay be selected for potential broadcast on NPR, you will be
contacted by one of our staff. If your essay is selected for potential
broadcast by your local public radio station, one of their staff will
contact you.

Our project's goal is to open a public dialogue about belief-one essay at a
time. To that end, every essay we receive is an important part of our
project. This I Believe is not a "contest," but a community conversation.

We have built an online archive on our website to house every essay we
receive. At the completion of our review process, which takes about eight
weeks, your essay will then be entered into our online database (found at
www.thisibelieve.org). Feel free to check back periodically to see if your
essay is there. That would signify the end of the review process.

We've heard from many folks who wish to know where things are during our
review. Though we very much wish we could keep everyone informed, we are a
small non-profit organization with no budget for the full-time person we
need for this task. We expend all of our energy on carefully-and
thoroughly-reviewing every essay we receive.

Thank you, sincerely, for submitting your essay!

-- The staff of This I Believe

Well, pray, cheer or wish whichever works that I am successful.  This is
fun.

Warmest Regards,

Fred

P.S. all essays are posted on the "This I Believe" archive.  I will let you
know when that happens.  I want to wait 'til then to let it out to the
public.
