Call for Entries – June Writing Contest

 

Dear Writers, Dreamers, and Storytellers,

Imagine stumbling upon an old, forgotten letter tucked within the pages of a dusty book—a message from the past, whispering secrets and untold stories.

Now, we challenge you to create a response to that letter as if you were addressing the original sender or recipient. Unleash your creativity, dive into the depths of the unknown, and explore the captivating possibilities that lie within the stranger’s story.

What secrets lay dormant in the creases of the aged paper? What emotions and revelations might your response unveil? The canvas is yours to paint as you breathe life into these characters and their unique narratives. Engage readers with your eloquence, ignite their curiosity, and leave them yearning for more.
