Congratulations to 10th grader Matt Dietrich for authoring an original short story entitled “An Inevitable Prophecy” that was recently selected by Young Writers USA for publication in this year’s Garden State anthology, Stranger Sagas. Young Writers USA sponsored the writing contest in October 2018, challenging students to write a 100-word short story focusing on a mysterious or strange topic. High school English teacher Tori Novack worked with Matt on his submission to the contest and it was selected for publication in January. This past week, Matt and Novack received their own printed copies of the book, which featured student authors from across New Jersey.
