Write some love for your favorite part of NYC.
We've got a contest that eager writers should sharpen their pencils for. On November 18th at 7:30 pm (during the First Independent Bookstore Week NYC), we’re hosting an event to celebrate the paperback release of State by State, a wonderful collection of essays from acclaimed writers, about the states they love.
We're hosting a contest in the same spirit - called Neighborhood by Neighborhood! Write an essay (500-1000 words) about your favorite neighborhood in NYC: from Washington Heights to Vinegar Hill to, of course – Greenpoint. Open to high school students and up. (We will pick a student winner and an adult winner.)
Send submissions to kelly@wordbrooklyn.com by November 12th to be entered. Winners get an autographed copy of the book, a gift certificate to WORD and might get to read their piece at the event. But you do not need to be present to enter or win – so send your entry even if you can’t make it on Nov. 18th. We’d love to read your essay!
