Pnyx Write-A-Thon
Pnyx is hosting a write-a-thon! Focused around the everyday ancient person, we are challenging you to explore the mundane. Give us the perspective of those less focused on; a baker, a child, a day laborer, etc.
Submissions from the write-a-thon will be published in the Fall 2026 edition of Pnyx. Please see guidelines below.
We are still accepting submissions to Pnyx separate from the write-a-thon.
