The Fiction Project

This is one of the coolest projects I have come across.

The Fiction Project promotes writing as art. Writers sign up and pay a $25 entry fee. In return, they get a Moleskin notebook to fill up with stories, poetry, or anything they want. Their only requirement is that the book end up being at least 51% filled with writing. That’s it!

After hearing about their Sketchbook Project last year, and thinking it was interesting from a scrapbooking perspective, I jumped into The Fiction Project this year. I plan on including some of my poetry after being inspired by one of their categories: Face in the crowd. So far, that’s the title of the poem, but we will see what it turns into.

Check out The Fiction Project at http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/fiction/features and let me know if you enter. Deadline for sign ups is March 31st with submission due May 1st, so enter soon.

The Fiction Project

Through a serendipitous email error, I discovered one of the coolest projects I have come across in quite a while. It’s called The Fiction Project sponsored by a group called Art House Coop. The finished works will be part of the permanent collection the Brooklyn Art Library in Red Hook, NY. Here’s the blurb from their site:

The idea:

This project is a sister project to The Sketchbook Project. The Fiction Project sets its sights on literature and creating a narrative book that fuses writing with art. Each book submitted will be housed at the Brooklyn Art Library in Red Hook.

An idea immediately jumped into my head. I may just sign up! Let me know if you do, too, so I can look for your submission at the exhibition.
