Welcome

In early March we will post the first page of the mystery, which will be written by the distinguished Leverett author Bruce Watson.

Do you want to contribute to the tale? Contact Linda Wentworth at the library at 413.548.9220 or leverett@cwmars.org.  We will compile a list of writers, and contact you when it is your turn to write your section. You will have 48 hours to write and send us your contribution. We will then add it to the story online, and contact the next writer on our list to add the next section.

Rules for writers:

1. The story is intended to be a “Cozy” murder mystery (google “cozy mystery” for more specifics), and must follow the customs of that genre. That means no sci fi elements (no space aliens), no magical realism, etc.

2.  All violence must occur “off-stage.”  A body will be found, but the murder occurs out of sight.

3.  Keep any love scenes PG rated.

4.  No actual Leverett residents should be in the story. No real names of local people can be used.

5.  The contributions should be no longer than 250 words, and can be as short as 4 words (“It’s you!” she gasped.)
