With the advent of the Writers’ Hub, creative writers have been provided with a digital platform to showcase their writing talents. The Writers’ Hub will feature an online literary magazine, as well as host creative writing contests throughout the year. Keep watch for updates on these competitions – important guidelines and deadlines will be included!

Meanwhile, we are eager to see what our imaginative ODA students have written over spring quarantine and the summer. From poetry to novels, short stories to persuasive essays, fiction to non-fiction, we welcome writing submissions of all styles and lengths! Middle and Upper School students are invited.

Opportunities for student artists are also available! We would love to complement students’ written work with visual art by pairing them together in the literary magazine.

If you would like to submit a piece of writing or artwork to be published in the online literary magazine, contact The ODA Bolt staff at [email protected]!

Note that submissions are subject to editorial modifications. Every effort will be made to preserve the creative style, tone, voice, content, and message of each piece submitted.
