Short Stories
Fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, horror - we could go on. Write about anything you want - dragons, cyborgs, cats, oceans- we don't care. Just make sure it isn't real. For memoirs and true stories, check the Nonfiction category. Max 2500 words.
Poems
Poems, poems, poems. Write about lost love, marshmallows, sheep - whatever. Please do not format the poem into columns. No length limit.
Art and Photography
You can really go crazy with this one. Draw anything you might show your grandma without feeling embarrassed. You can send in a photo of your art, but it will appear better if the art is either digitized or scanned. Same goes for photography.
Editorials
This is all about opinions. Pour your heart out about goldfish (crackers or the animal, we don't have any preference), or maybe rant about how laggy your laptop is. Please note that all editorials will be carefully read before publishing- we will not publish anything that is offensive to anyone in this community. We are very sorry if we cannot publish your piece- perhaps try elsewhere! Max 2500 words.
Nonfiction
Submit anything but your essay on To Kill a Mockingbird. We take memoirs, personal stories, personal essays, book, movie, and music reviews. Write about the time you jumped off a cliff into a lake. Write about our terrible weather and how you wish you could move to Florida. Write about how you once did nothing but binge Netflix over spring break. Please submit argumentative essays as Editorials, not Nonfiction. Max 2500 words.
