Writing Showcase | 50plus Expo

Everyone has a story to tell, and we want to hear from you!

Send us up to 300 words of your original work. Your entry can be a poem, essay, or narrative format.

You may want to let us know about the biggest challenge you had to navigate through. How did you come through that time and did it change the course of your life?

Or do you like the rhythm of words? Then a poem would be your forte.

We are excited to be able to offer this special feature as part of the online virtual 50plus EXPOs this fall.

All entries will be shown online for the general public to vote for their favorite.
