Writing prompt: Thanksgiving!

This year, The Crow’s Nest literary magazine is asking you to reflect on the unique experience of 2020. While the pandemic is obviously challenging, it provides us a chance to reflect and produce works of art and literature inspired by our experiences.

How are you spending Thanksgiving? Are you gathering virtually? Ordering carryout?

The staff of The Crow’s Nest is challenging you to create a work of art or literature (short story, poetry) inspired by this holiday, specifically in 2020.

Ready to share your work? Use this submission form to share it with us 😊

(Please note that submissions are open to all LCHS students, faculty, and staff and are subject to administrative approval. You must be logged in to your LCPS Google account to access the submission form. You can submit as many pieces as you like: use a separate form for each piece.)

Welcome to The Crow’s Nest

Welcome to The Crow’s Nest, the new home of the Loudoun County High School literary magazine. We’re keeping our archived editions of Crosses Sabres, our print literary magazine that was published under our old mascot, The Raiders, at issuu.com/lchscrowsnest so you can check out back-issues.

This year, we’ll be posting writing and artwork throughout the year, followed by a PDF “print” edition at year’s end.

We hope you enjoy 🙂
