Letters About Literature Contest
by Bertha
Has one book — or maybe one author — inspired you to change your view of yourself or your world? If so, we encourage you to enter this year’s Letters About Literature writing competition. All you have to do is write a personal letter to an author, explaining how his or her work affected you. If it was me, I might write to Judith Ortiz Cofer, Gary D. Schmidt, or Brian Selznick.
Letters About Literature is a national reading promotion program of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, presented in partnership with Target and affiliate state centers for the book.

Grades 4 - 12. The deadline for submitting a letter is January 6th, 2012.
