Submissions are now open for ETERNAL, our online lit mag.
Deadline: 3/31/24
We are proud to announce ETERNAL, the online literary magazine from The 309 Collective. Although our collective was created for the 11 of us to help each other, our ultimate goal was always to create space for all teen writers.
As is the case for all things 309, ETERNAL is a space for teen writers only. Whether you write poetry, prose, short scripts or songs, we'd love to see your work and find ways to support you.
ETERNAL Magazine
Our motto is "newly minted. eternal." This is a statement on how even though we are young writers, we are determined to leave a legacy and a body of work that lasts for generations to come.
This is how we named the name of our magazine came about.
Because we want our voices heard. Because we don't want our voices to disappear.
Theme for issue one:
"Newly Minted"
What does "newly minted" mean to you? What does it mean to be new as if we didn't exist before? What does it mean to be born? What does it mean to declare publicly for the first time?
What other questions does the phrase conjure for you? We would love to see your explorations.
