—Allison Hoover Bartlett, The Man Who Loved Books Too Much
Writers' Invitational Winter 2010
Topic: Favorite Books
Imagine this, you've just completed your novel (as if you haven't imagined that a hundred times!). Now your publisher asks you to write a brief prologue outlining the outstanding fiction that led you to this historic moment. This is your chance to list your favorite book(s) and describe what they've meant to you and do it in 300 words or less. We're celebrating writers this year at Copperfield's Books and look forward to sharing what writers read with other writers. We'll post your entries on this page. The prize? A $100 Copperfield's Books gift card. The winner will be announced March 1, 2010. All entries must be in by February 26 to be considered.
You're invited to join us in our Read to Write Workshops starting in March. You can join one of the groups forming in Sebastopol and Petaluma or read along at home. Click below for more information:
