Do you or a child you know have a WONDER-ful precept that you live by? I’m looking for some original precepts for a new book I’m working on! If you have a unique, or daring, or especially beautiful precept that you’d like to share with the world—this is your chance!

If you’d like to see your precept published in my next book—in your own handwriting—please send me your POSTCARD PRECEPT by December 20th, 2013. I won’t be able to publish every precept mailed in, but at least 20 of the best entries will be used in the book.

How to enter? First, write your PRECEPT on a POSTCARD as legibly as you can. I’ll be using a scan of the postcard, so be neat! If you want to embellish with some of your own artwork, by all means, go ahead! Make it as unique as you would like! Then, write your name, address, age, and email on a separate piece of paper. Enclose that paper—along with your POSTCARD—in an envelope, and mail to:

PO BOX 150025
275 9th St.
Brooklyn, NY 11215
attn: R. J. Palacio

Entries must be received by December 20, 2013 to be eligible. Please note, no original postcards will be returned. No last names will be published. Only entrants whose precepts have been chosen will be notified if they have been chosen.

Thanks, and good luck!
