Following the success of its first issue, which was published in 2014, the YS Senior Center has announced that it is now accepting submissions for the second issue of Ripples, an elder literary journal. Submissions to the journal should be written by or feature an elder or elders, age 55 or older, and be connected to Yellow Springs or Miami Township. Authors may be of any age. Submissions may be articles, essays, memoirs or poems, and will be selected competitively. Photographs that relate to the written material are welcome.

The first issue of Ripples was published last year by the Senior Center.
