<p>I want to submit some of my writings. I know that on the arts supplement they ask for a resume, and I'm assuming they want one for creative writing as well. My teachers say my pieces are really good, but I haven't been published and have received only one small award. Is it even worth sending in my pieces or will they not care that I haven't been published?</p>
<p>I'm not a published writer because personally, i dont believe in vanity press (publishing at a young age is usually just to say "oh I've published a book...blah blah blah). I'm sending in a short story that I've been writing since july, which is an adaptation of a piece I wrote in 6th grade, and whoever has read it finds it excellent and thought provoking, so dont worry about not getting published. it should be fine.</p>
<p>go for it, im not sending in extra writing, but im trying to show them writing's an important interest/activity of mine throughout my application</p>
