Welcome to the Official Website for 
THE ANNUAL LEHIGH VALLEY YOUNG WRITERS FEST.

Creative writing is under siege.  With more and more schools focusing on Common Core and Standardized Testing, less focus is being made on giving you – the student – opportunities to express yourself freely and hone your creative passion.  To create new worlds, explore new depths, and inspire others also to pick up the pen and start writing.

We are fighting a war, and we need you to help us win.  To find out how, browse the website to learn more about what we do, why we do it, who we are, and how you can participate in the upcoming LVYWF.

In addition, feel free to try our creative challenges, which include short forms of creative writing that you can do to stimulate your creativity and sharpen your writing skills.  Also, check out our extras page for insightful resources and tips on further developing your creative writing abilities.

If you have any questions and comments about the site, or you have any poems or short fiction you want us to review for posting, please feel free to fill out the contact form, or send us an e-mail at lvyoungwriters@gmail.com.

Thank you for visiting, and as always, keep fighting, keep writing.  You are brilliant.
