||| FROM NIK SCHULZ for THE LEAPING FOOL |||


Welcome to another season of  “T H E  L E A P I N G  F O O L”  winter writers series! Our first event will be at The Orcas Island Winery, Thursday, November 9th, 6–8pm. We invite you to submit your writing inspired by the theme “With Fire” by Tuesday, October 30th.

To begin the season we are showcasing pieces that reflect an aspect of fire: passion, aliveness, warmth, alignment, ignition, and above all, a deep appreciation of life, one in which we feel protected and loved in return. 

THE LEAPING FOOL is a community-based collaboration between The Intermodal Spirit and SOURCE Paper. Local writers, poets, and storytellers are called to submit pieces from the heart that are shared aloud at an evening gathering inside the barn at Orcas Island Winery.

Submissions are open to all forms of writing and oral storytelling.

Deadline for submissions: Tuesday, October 30th

Reading venue: The Orcas Island Winery
Reading date and time: Thursday, November 9th, 6–8pm, Doors open at 5:00pm

Consideration for submissions:

• Please keep length to 6–8 minutes

• Please name document with your FIRST + LAST name, and the TITLE of your piece.

• Word or Pages documents are requested. 

PLEASE SEND SUBMISSIONS AND INQUIRIES TO: hello@source-paper.com 

This winter’s series is graciously sponsored by Halo.
