Adirondack Center for Writing Seeks Writing Submissions By North Country Teens
Wild-Words-Book-Launch-2025
The Adirondack Center for Writing (ACW) is seeking submissions for its fourth annual print publication of its Wild Words Adirondack Teen Writing Anthology.
Teens ages 13-19 living in the North Country of New York State are eligible to submit their creative writing for consideration in the anthology, which will be published in the spring of 2026. A public book launch will be held on Saturday, May 16, at Harrietstown Town Hall in Saranac Lake where copies will be available for a small donation.
“Wild Words is an incredible opportunity for young writers to share their stories, connect with each other, and make their voices heard,” said Obi Taswell, ACW’s program manager. “This anthology celebrates around seventy of the most urgent youth voices in the North Country.”
Interested teens can learn more and submit their poetry, short stories, short memoirs and personal essays at adirondackcenterforwriting.org/wildwords. Submissions are due by midnight on Friday, March 13, 2026.
The Adirondack Center for Writing has been bringing people and words together for 25 years through provocative events and meaningful programs. For more information about ACW, visit adirondackcenterforwriting.org or follow @adkctr4writing on Facebook and Instagram.
