Young Writers Anthology 2025-2026
Ends on
Young writers in grades K-12 who've taken a Lighthouse workshop (either in-house, online, or off-site) from September 2025 through August 2026 are welcome to submit up to three typed, double-spaced pages (or up to 3 poems) of creative writing for our annual anthology, And We Created Worlds. Please use this template for your submission.
Work must have been written or started in a Lighthouse workshop between September 2024 and August 2025. Please note that we will not accept submissions that discriminate against others, contain gratuitous violence, or plagiarize existing pieces. We also ask that writers include content warnings on their pieces, which can be indicated in our submission portal. We cannot guarantee that all submitted pieces will be included in the final Anthology. We will respond by mid-September with confirmation and next steps.
