WELCOME TO CONTEMPORARY LIT


Contemporary Lit is defined by stories that are set between WWII and present day. These stories highlight real world situations lived by real world characters. Some of the more popular themes of Contemp Lit are romance, coming of age, empowerment, good vs evil, and life's injustices. We invite you to browse our reading lists, which have been hand-selected for our readers who enjoy connecting with contemporary characters. And if you have written a story that fits this genre, we invite you to visit our Profile Guide for instructions on submitting your story to our reading lists.
