Documenting Cleveland: May 12, 2020 is a "collective writing experiment" created by Literary Cleveland.

"For this project we invited everyone in greater Cleveland to document their lives on May 12 in order to capture a portrait of an ordinary day during this extraordinary time. The response was overwhelming: 140 people from all across the city submitted 532 entries for a combined 95,880 words and 346 photos. In other words, Clevelanders wrote the equivalent of a novel. To honor everyone's experience, we have collected all 532 entries and placed them on a chronological, interactive map that allows you to explore everything that happened in Cleveland on May 12 by location, by time, or even by keyword." - Literary Cleveland
