Opportunity for Students to Publish Art and Writing

Youth (ages 9-18) who identify as neurodivergent are invited to submit original art and writing for an anthology.

“Neurodivergent” includes Tourette’s syndrome, OCD, ADHD/ADD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurominorities.

You do not need a formal diagnosis to contribute. The goal of this anthology is to amplify YOUR voice.

Important notes for all submissions

• You may submit up to 3 pieces.
• Please submit original pieces that you have created. Sadly this means no fan fiction or art depicting characters created by another artist.
