Osceola Library System LitMag

About This Project

Submit your original short story, poem, and/or artwork for a chance to be featured in LitMag, the Osceola Literary Magazine! This year's theme is Gone Missing. Explore the idea of something - or someone - vanishing, whether it's a lost object, a forgotten memory, or person who has disappeared. Whether it's a suspenseful mystery or a heartfelt story, let your creativity shine as you interpret the theme. Open to kids and teens ages 8 to 17.
