Enter the Exquisite
Writing Contest
To help celebrate the publication of the Exquisite Corpse Adventure,
Reading Rockets and AdLit.org announce the Exquisite Prompt Redux—a
writing contest for kids in true exquisite corpse fashion. In the
contest, the prompts for K-12 students to write about come from winning
student entries from a previous writing contest. Kids have until
November 30 to write the ending to a cliffhanger, a review of a magical
object purchased from The Fairy Tale Catalog, a poem in the voice of the
Whinoceros, or the adventures of two time travelers. Fabulous prizes
include autographed books by Exquisite Corpse Adventure authors! Enter
