Online Exclusive: “Lost & Found” Writing Challenge

For the next two weeks, we’re inviting you to take part in a special online-exclusive submission opportunity! Our theme is “Lost & Found”—a prompt that opens the door to mystery, nostalgia, and unexpected discoveries.

Write about an object that was lost and resurfaced years later. Who lost it, and why did it matter? How did it find its way back, and what emotions or consequences follow? Whether your piece is heartfelt, suspenseful, or magical, we want to see how you bring this idea to life.

Submissions are open from today (Wednesday, February 26) through Wednesday, February 12. Selected pieces will be featured on our online platforms, giving your work a chance to reach and inspire our literary community.

Send us your best short stories, poetry, or creative nonfiction by the deadline—we can’t wait to see what you uncover! Artwork and photography is also encouraged. Simply use the form below – it’s free!
