Inscriptions Writing Contest

If you have a story, poem, essay, or any other piece of writing that you would like us to see, please email it to me (Paige) at inscriptions@bjupress.com. I will read through your submissions and pick one to publish on the Showcase every month or two. I'll also include some comments about the selected piece. There is no entry fee for your submission!

How It Works

1. Write something.
2. Read what you wrote aloud; then edit it.
3. Email your writing to me.
4. The Inscriptions staff and I will read each piece and select one to feature.
5. I will review the piece of writing, point out its strengths, and make a few helpful suggestions.
6. The selected work and my review will be published on the Showcase.

As always, be sure to check with your parents before contacting me or submitting any work.

Submission Guidelines

1. The age bracket for submissions is 10–18.
2. We accept poetry, fiction, or nonfiction essays on specific topics. Reports or book reports are a more academic type of writing and would not be a good fit for Inscriptions.
3. We aren't placing a word limit on submissions, but our time for reviewing them is limited. If you submit a novella or a play, we will review the first chapter or the first scene.
4. Please submit only one piece of writing per month.
5. While we prefer typed entries received by email, we will also accept handwritten entries by mail.
