Letters About Literature Open Oct 1-Jan 15

Letters About Literature in Massachusetts is a commonwealth-wide personal and reflective writing initiative sponsored by the Massachusetts Center for the Book. The program invites students in Grades 4 through 12 to read a book of their choice, reflect on it, and write a personal letter to its author, explaining the impact this work had on them.

Letters are read in three grade-level categories:
  • Level I: Grades 4 through 6
  • Level II: Grades 7 and 8
  • Level III: Grades 9 through 12
One “top honor” writer and up to nine additional honors writers (depending on the number of submissions per category) are named in each level. The top honor writer receives a $200 cash award. All honors writers receive $25 book gift cards.

More details and eligibility is here.

The entry form will be available here Oct. 1 - submissions close January 15, 2021.
