Program Description

Details

Celebrate National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) with some creativity of your own. Write a short story that is longer than 2 pages in a standard font (meaning, Times New Roman, Calibri, Helvetica—please do not submit in Chiller), but there are no other limits on your creativity! If you're struggling or just want a writing prompt from The Story Engine deck to get started, email teen@lakeforestlibrary.org.

Contest open November 1–30. Winners will be announced the first week of December. 

Submit your short story
