<p>Hi. I'm Kristen, a senior, and I just recently found out that Scholastics is for writing as well. In my school it seemed to be broadcast as an art competition, and I had never heard of it involving writing until this year. </p>
<p>While I know the writing part isn't new, I was wondering if the part about publication for the novel writing category is. I haven't been able to find the works of previous winners of the novel writing category, so this is a question I have for you all. </p>
<p>My second question is, since there is a special deadline and address for the novel writing category, is the novel only submitted directly to that NY address and not to anything regional?</p>
