Fort Bend County Libraries will host online programs in December that are intended to encourage new writers by providing tips and tricks, writing and publishing advice, and support from other aspiring novelists.

The Missouri City Branch Library will host an online Short Stories Writers Challenge during the month of December. A story prompt and activity guidelines will be posted on FBCLs online calendar on Monday, December 7. Writers are encouraged to create a story from the prompt, and submit it to mcpublic@fortbend.lib.tx.us before the deadline on December 31. One of the stories will be selected to be featured on the Missouri City Branch Library Facebook page in early January.

The Story Spinners Writing Club, which normally meets once a month at George Memorial Library, will meet virtually on Thursday, December 17, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. The topic for December is Exposition. From beginning blogger to published novelist, writers of all genres and experience levels are welcome to join the Story Spinners Writing Club to write, share, learn, support, network, and critique each others work. This activity will be livestreamed via Zoom/WebEx. Registration is required; a link to the sessions will be emailed to all who register.

The sessions are free and open to the public. Registration is required for the live-streamed Zoom/WebEx event ONLY; a link to the Zoom/WebEx session will be emailed to participants who register.
