When Mary Shelley was 18 years old she accepted a story writing challenge and Frankenstein was born. Now it's your turn! Inspired by that fateful writing competition, we're encouraging teens to write their own short stories to read aloud in this online open mic. Will you write the next Frankenstein?

If you are interested in reading your story aloud, please submit it in advance via this Google Form.
Stories should be no longer than five minutes when read aloud.
