The staff at Heart of Vicksburg is passionate about showcasing the talents and creativity of Vicksburg locals. That’s why we’re calling on all creative-writers and poets in the city! Send us your short stories and poems for a chance to be featured on our website!
It’s no secret that Vicksburg is a melting pot of extraordinary and artistic individuals. Almost anywhere you go in Vicksburg, you’ll be surrounded by people with hidden interests and abilities. From stage performers to painters, musicians and more, Vicksburg’s got talent.
As well as those with musical and artistic inclinations, there are shockingly several among us who secretly have a knack for storytelling and poetry. Our wish is to bring attention to these gifted individuals and show off the penmanship of brilliantly-minded locals.
If you have a love of poetic self expression or writing short stories, please send us your favorite pieces! Each week we will feature our favorite reads!
