Dear Booklover,
We're doubling Frequent Reader points this month,
holding some wonderful events, and we've got some
especially exciting books in the stores--some great,
vintage science fiction at Pegasus Downtown and
over three-thousand
juicy sale books at all three stores. Come see!
| National Paragraph Writing Month |
 |
|
To gear up for National Novel Writing Month,
founded seven years ago by Chris Baty, we're
calling for submissions to our
own pre-event celebration--National Paragraph
Writing Month, founded nearly five minutes ago.
Do whatever it
takes to create one paragraph--skip work, forego
showers, unplug the TV--and email it to us. If it's
publishable on a rated-PG website, we'll post it,
share
it, pick our favorites and hand out gift certificates
(with which you might buy No Plot? No
Problem! by Chris Baty.)
