The Ellipsis is an online magazine founded in 2015 by Writopia Lab. We publish thought-provoking, daring, and provocative works from Writopia Lab writers ages 12-19. Along with works recently completed and polished in Writopia Lab workshops, we publish teens’ works recently recognized by the Scholastic Writing Awards. We seek to celebrate the next generation of writers through this interactive platform. Since we are a magazine dedicated to teen writing and we do not censor, there may be mature content.
Check out writopialab.org/snow for snow-poetry, snow-stories, snow-horror, and snow-snark for all ages, all written on January 4th, 2018 during the “Bomb Cyclone” that hit the Eastern Seaboard! Congratulations to the writers, ages 3-20, who spent their day developing these especially reflective, poetic, and sometimes quite dramatic and hysterical wintry pieces. Please note that we do not censor content; instead we mention on top of each piece if we feel there is violent or mature scenes or language.
