The East Haddam Library System is excited to collaborate with other libraries throughout Connecticut for the first Spooky CT Writing Contest! Writers of all ages are welcome to submit their spooky short stories throughout the month of October.
Stories must be:
- A minimum of two sentences and a maximum of ten pages
- Set anywhere in CT (past, present or future)
- ‘Rated’ pg-13
- No plagiarism or ChatGPT submissions
All of the stories submitted will be featured in a collection of Spooky East Haddam short stories, but the winners will get a fun prize and will be featured in a ‘best of’ story collection called Spooky CT alongside other winners from all over the state.
