Winona, Minnesota Apr 15, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - A network of writers from around the world is hand-making original works of written art to be featured in dozens of Little Free Libraries across the United States starting in April. The cards are being created and distributed as part of the Little Written Art project, which aims to give voice to grassroots writers and increase access to original written art on a community level.
Committed to distributing unique, quality pieces of writing, the Little Written Art project builds off of the dying tradition of hand-written cards while celebrating the medium for its ability to capture insights from talented writers – and deliver them in a way that resonates with readers. With solid networks of both writers and Little Free Libraries in place, the project is distributing cards in 23 states to start, while future plans include making written art cards available for free to the public in all 50 states – and beyond.
Key features of the Little Written Art project:
- Cards are small and hand-made. Each one features a short piece of original writing on a 5x7 card. It’s small, bite-sized, and unique.
- The written art cards are created by writers who are sharing their insights and talents. The cards are given freely with the intention of making a positive impact on readers.
- The written art is being distributed through a network of Little Free Library owners across the country who want to help build community and expand access to written materials.
“Some of the most powerful pieces of art come from the hearts of writers who are empowered to deeply express themselves – and given a pathway to connect with readers,” said Melanie Steele, founder of Little Written Art. “We know readers across the county value art and long for genuine, heartfelt messages and ideas that they can connect with and relate to. Our vision is to have Little Written Art accessible to everyone who could benefit from it.”
Throughout 2025, the Little Written Art project aims to welcome more original pieces of written art from writers and make them available in more communities across the country. Writers, Little Free Library owners, and community members are encouraged to learn more and help spread the word about the project: www.littlewrittenart.com
