Join The New Chapter Poetry Chapbook Challenge!
January 26th-Feb 5th 2026!
If our lives are like storybooks, then new chapters come frequently.
Sometimes we welcome a new chapter, other times we are sad to see the old chapters end.
Some chapters last a long time, others turn the page quickly. But each one is a great opportunity for reflection, creativity and contemplation!
New year? New friendships? New Job? New Relationships? New hobbies? New business? New interest?
Out with the old, in with the new? Or are pieces of the old coming along into the new chapter?
Let's write about the new chapter!
15 Poems in 10 Days
