Are you interested in becoming a published author?

The Muse, in partnership with the Norfolk Academy, is calling for multi-genre submissions from local high schoolers for a literary journal called “Just A Phase” to be published later this Spring.

The deadline is April 1st. In the summer we plan to have a reading to celebrate its launch (hopefully in-person.)

The goal of “Just A Phase is to create a literary journal that accurately reflects what high schoolers are writing now (during the pandemic). Other than a limit of 2,000 words, the only other real limitation is that the student-produced work was written during the pandemic. However, your writing doesn’t have to directly focus on any aspect of the pandemic.
