Our Lives Now COVID-19 Nonfiction Writing Project

We are all living in an extraordinary moment. Our normal routines have been dramatically altered. Most of us are at home. Schools are all online.

Our Lives Now is a nonfiction program that asks the young writers of Rhode Island to reflect on their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and tell their own stories.

What are you seeing and doing? How have these changes affected your school and family life? What moments have you observed in the world around you?

Please write for us.

If you are a Rhode Island student in grades 7-12 and would like to submit your story, visit our Submissions page for guidelines.
