for homeschoolers

2018 Sower & Harvest
Short Story Prizes

The competition was open to current homeschool students. Prizes were awarded to all winners.

A Note From the Founder

I’m always fascinated with the mechanics of creating a story. There are a multitude of pieces that must come together with a precision to communicate a narrative. Then there are the methodical details that make a story impressionable and forever memorable.

Our participants this year have demonstrated a proficiency in the craft of storytelling. The themes this year were aimed to challenge our young participants throughout the entire writing process. With nothing more than a theme, we wanted to see some great original stories. Our desire was to read cohesive, genuine, and purposeful stories that leave a lasting impression.

We’re deeply grateful to all our participants this year. We also wanted to give a special thanks to all the homeschooling parents who have invested so much into the hearts of these participants. Thank you for being a tremendous support to us and to the writers we showcase on our site. You inspire us to continue to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

And now, we present the winners of the 2018 Sower & Harvest Short Story Prizes!
