Meet some of our first student writers and find out why they chose to submit their stories to Stripes Europe.  (Kat Nickola)

Stars and Stripes Europe recently met up with some of our first student writers to find out why they chose to submit their stories.

Recently, DODEA school across Europe were invited to participate in our new student writer program. Schools in Germany and England have taken advantage of seminars taught by one of our writers and the option to get student writing published online.

Our first submissions came from students at Wiesbaden Middle School, and writer Kat Nickola visited them at the school. Their stories are linked below.

Military youth interested in submitting are encouraged to contact us at europesubmissions@stripes.com or going to the dedicated webpage here for details. We are especially interested in travel and military life stories told from the teen perspective.
