DEADLINE EXTENDED: Due to the library being closed until further notice, the Fargo Public Library is extending the deadline for the Northern Narratives writing project for adults and teens age 13 years and older until Thursday, April 30, 2020.
About Northern Narratives and the process to submit works:
Submissions will be accepted online only through April 30, 2020 at https://fargolibrary.wufoo.com/forms/northern-narratives-2020. All rules and guidelines for the project are available on the library’s Northern Narratives webpage.
Material selected for the print publication will be announced in the spring of 2020 and all submissions must be original, unpublished, proofread, and edited works. All entries are final and stories will not be returned. The selection committee reserves the right to withhold publication at their own discretion. Chosen selections shall be subject to “first rights” copyright. Any future publication, unrelated to the Fargo Public Library, shall require appropriate attribution. The contest categories are:
• Short Stories: 1,500 – 6,000 words
• Essays: 1,000 – 2,500 words
• Poems: less than 750 words
This project is supported by the Friends of the Fargo Public Library.
Fargo Public Library events are free and open to the public. Children age 9 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. For a list of upcoming events, call 701.241.1472 or visit our online calendar.
