Sam Quinones is a former Delta College student who currently works for the Los Angeles Times. One of his goals is to inspire high school and college students to write their "True Tales.”  Quinones says, “This will be our ‘Experiment in Storytelling.’” 

Sam Quinones promises to help aspiring authors with their prose if they accept his writing experiment challenge. “Got a true tale to tell?” probes Quinones. “Did something happen to you? How about a relative, friend, or someone from your hometown? Anything offbeat, gripping, heartwarming or tear-jerking? Write it! No more than 750 words…English or Spanish. Send it in. I can't pay anything, but I’ll edit it. We'll talk about how to improve it, and I'll put it on my web site for the world to read!"

Sounds like a pretty good deal! Contact:
