Writers must be Napa County residents and can submit two unpublished stories, either in prose or poetry format, with a limit of 60 words per story. Each submission must have a title and may not include any profanity or disparaging remarks. The pieces will undergo blind review and the best five submissions will be chosen.

The Bookmark Coalition is a collaboration between the Yountville Library, Friends of the Yountville Library, and the Yountville Arts Commission.
