Wordcrafters in Eugene
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
Wordcrafters is a 501(c)3 nonprofit literary arts organization celebrating more than a decade of helping writers find their voice and tell their story.
Wordcrafters offers classes, workshops, and community gatherings for adults and youth–including story weekend writing retreats, creative writing summer camps, workshops for youth and adults, and a short story contest open to all Lane County young writers.
We believe in the power of story.
Stories tell us who we are, and who we can be. Wordcrafters empowers writers and readers by increasing access to community, craft, and inspiration. We provide a home for sharing knowledge and stories with each other and future generations to cultivate a more empathetic, creative, and courageous world.
We offer two short story contests each year:
- Fiction Fantastic youth short story contest - open to all students in grades K-12 in Lane County, Oregon schools
- Cai Emmons Short Story Contest - open to adult writers in Oregon and Washington.
