Spark a Story: 20 Short Stories by American Teens

What Happens when you Spark a Mind?

Inspiration. A well-written story has the power take us to new places, change our minds, and influence the way we view the world around us. Last year, we asked high school students across the country to send us their most inspired short stories as part of our #SparkAStory contest.

 

Today, we are proud to announce the works of 20 students that have been selected for this special anthology, "Spark a Story: 20 Short Stories by American Teens." Who knows? Among them may be the next J.R.R. Tolkien or Virginia Woolf.
