Leap into Writing

Have you ever wanted to write but couldn’t find the time? Or you didn’t know where to start? Or you didn’t think anyone would read your work so what’s the point?

If you’ve had any of these thoughts Neenah Public Library’s new program “Leap into Writing” is for you! Begin with a writing prompt, write a story between 500 and 1,000 words, and get feedback from a real live author/editor.

Here’s how it works:

1. Using that month's writing prompt as a starting point, write a complete story between 500 and 1,000 words.
2. Email your story as a .PDF to zaborowske@neenahlibrary.org.
   1. Stories should be formatted in 12-point, Times New Roman font. Single spaced.
   2. Please include YOUR NAME and a TITLE of the STORY and WORD COUNT! Story cannot be more than 1,000 words.
3. After you submit your story, you will receive a Zoom link as well as a .PDF of the other participant’s stories.
4. Meet in person in June to receive feedback from the editor.
5. Take what you’ve learned and begin again with the next writing prompt.

August's Writing Prompt is: "Rescue"

Stories must be emailed to zaborowske@neenahlibrary.org by Thursday, Aug 17th! Stories should be formatted in 12-point, Times New Roman font. Single spaced. Please submit your story as a .PDF. Please Title your Story and include your Name and Word Count. Include your name and library card number in the email. After you submit, you will receive info on the upcoming feedback session.
