Book Swap Blizzard

Book Swap Blizzard

What could be better than books and writing prompts? We’ll do both and here’s how it works. When you register, let us know the title of the book or literary magazine you plan to swap. When we gather, we’ll indulge in some creative writing prompts. Then we’ll draw names and swap books or journal subscriptions — you bring a book or journal, you get a book or journal;, and all you have to do is mail the book you “bring” to the person who draws your name.
