Welcome to Write the World’s Global Writing Competitions

Write the World's free monthly competitions for teen writers (ages 13-19) offer opportunities to explore a variety of exciting genres, from poetry, fantasy, and flash fiction to environmental writing and journalism. Young writers of all levels are welcome to join our vibrant community and share their work with peers from around the globe who are eager to read their words.

And because a first draft is never perfect, we foster a collaborative environment where teens can receive peer and expert feedback to consider and incorporate into their final piece.
