There's a new Little Free Library in my neighborhood!
These libraries let you take a book and leave a book. They're a great way to find new books to read, and to share books you want others to know about.
What if you could leave a book YOU have written in a Little Free Library?
Even though Little Free Libraries are little, let's think big!
Think of a title for your book. Write it down.
Now write a blurb. A blurb is the paragraph on the back of the book that acts like a "teaser," making people want to read it. It's like a movie trailer.
Here's the blurb for Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine.
At her birth, Ella of Frell was the unfortunate recipient of a foolish fairy's gift--the "gift" of obedience. Ella must obey any order given to her, whether it's hopping on one foot for a day and a half, or chopping off her own head! But strong-willed Ella does not tamely accept her fate. Against a bold backdrop of princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, and fairy godmothers, Ella goes on a quest to break the curse--once and for all.
Now it's your turn. What will the blurb for your book say?
After you've written down the title and blurb for your book, imagine walking to the Free Little Library and placing your book inside it.
Keep imagining, keep writing, and one day it will happen. Best of all, someone will choose YOUR book, and read YOUR words!
