The Teen Short Story Writing Contest is still ongoing! In support of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), the Edison Public Library Teen Advisory Board is hosting the contest and encouraging Edison teens aged 11-18 to submit their stories. The deadline for submissions is November 30 at 5pm, so the clock is ticking if your teen is interested?

Already plan on entering but are stuck in the writing phase? Heed some advice from Newberry Award winner Jerry Spinelli (Dead Wednesday, Wringer, Stargirl) who states:

“Write what you care about. Ask yourself ‘What do I care about?’ In fact, make a list of five or ten things. There’s your start.”

You can read more of Mr. Spinelli’s interview and advice here.

Interested teens can pick up a flyer, Tips for Short Story Writing from NaNoWriMo’s Young Writers Program, at any Edison Public Library branch.

Masks will continue to be a welcome option for anyone who wants
to wear them.
