Fall Writing Competition

Fall is in the air, and what better way to celebrate than with your favorite fall beverage, some cooler weather, and writing a story that screams "colorful leaves are raining down outside my house"? Well, guess what? I'm about to give you the perfect excuse to do just that.

That's right. I'm hosting a Fall-themed writing competition. The two winners will win a chance to have their story be featured on my newsletter/blog! Curious how to enter? Follow the guidelines below.

1. Write a short piece (no more than 3,000 words) that is either a) a short story, b) a poem, or c) an essay. Whatever you write, it must be fall-themed (i.e. take place in Fall, have 'fall feels,' etc.)

2. The first page must be completely blank except for the title of the work, the author's preferred name, and an email address by which I can contact them (just FYI, the words on this page do not count towards the total word count, so don't worry too much there)

3. Email your submission in PDF form to me at l.e.levensauthor@gmail.com

4. Submissions are open NOW (September 20th, 2025) through October 20th, 2025

5. Anyone can enter, but their piece CANNOT be previously published

Got questions? email me at l.e.levensauthor@gmail.com. Until next time, Ad Lucem!
