Write a Letter-Win a Prize!
Letters About Literature is a great reading promotion program from the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. From their website: “Have you ever felt the power and lift of literature? Has one book — or perhaps one author — inspired you to change your view of yourself or your world? If so, we encourage you to enter this year’s Letters About Literature writing competition. All you have to do is write a personal letter to an author, explaining how his or her work affected you.”
You can write to any author, living or dead. Write from your heart. This isn’t a book report or a fan letter. This is your chance to use your writing skills to say what a book has meant to you on a deeper level. Personally, I’d like to write to Richard Adams who wrote Watership Down, but the contest isn’t for authors…it’s for you!
The deadline for submission is December 12th! Good luck! Let me know if you enter!
