Celebrate Words Matter Week, March 1-7, 2010
(ASHLAND, VA) – It’s Words Matter Week, a time to celebrate the importance of words. This annual celebration will be held online and on campuses, libraries, and in communities nationwide.
The National Association of Independent Writers and Editors (NAIWE) is once again sponsoring National Words Matter Week, March 1-7, by offering a free downloadable poster, a blog challenge, suggested activities, and interviews with creators and guardians of the word.
“Words are the foundation of civilization,” says Janice Campbell, Director of NAIWE. “In every aspect of life, personal or professional, words form the basis of relationships with others. The written word preserves and transmits knowledge, evokes alternate worlds, and provides endless food for thought. Words Matter Week gives us the opportunity to celebrate words and focus on why they matter.”
Libraries, schools, bookstores, and others who want to celebrate the holiday will find the free downloable poster, an invitation to give books to needy children through First Book, and suggestions for other activities at the Words Matter Week Website, http://WordsMatterWeek.com. During the celebration, blog topics will be posted Monday through Friday, and visitors are invited to respond to the blog topic and post a link to their response on the event website, or e-mail it to editor@naiwe.com.
