Enter your work to be included in our Volume 4 Notebook to be distributed at our Writers Conference this fall.
This year will include five pieces of writing from our monthly contests, and five pieces of art from our Artists in Sight interviews. We’ll also include one piece of writing and one piece of art from the prompts below. We’re excited to see your work! Submissions will be accepted through July 25.
Prompt: Look at a scene from a public library. What’s happening on the surface? What’s happening if we look below the surface. For example, from our perspective, we might see an adult reading to a child in the kids area. From their perspective, they may see themselves as a group of adventurers trudging their way through an unexplored jungle and coming face to face with various animals or maybe they are astronauts taking the first steps on Mars. It all depends on what they are reading and it could be anything!
Here’s another: An older gentleman is scrolling through genealogy websites. He looks like he’s simply filling out his family tree. Or is he really meeting a family member for the first time, reconnecting with an old friend, or searching out his lost love?
Study groups, 3D printing, stolen laptops, children’s storytime, book groups, people sleeping, washing in the bathroom, job searches, teens playing video games, the shushing, author visits . . . look past the obvious and tell us what you see.
