This 268-page anthology—featuring 160 stories, essays and poems from 81 young writers—is but a small sampling of all the incredible writing we collected on our blog, Pens of the Pandemic, throughout the first 18 months of COVID-19. In this book, you will get a glimpse into the inspiring courage, creativity and resilience of young people, writing from home during shelter-in-place. All proceeds go to our Diverse Voices Fund, providing need-based tuition for minority youth.
