Anistemi (ἀνίστημι): to raise up
Anistemi Publishing
We don't just publish young voices. We raise them up.
Anistemi Writing Contests
We time our writing contests to ensure publication of winners around Easter and Thanksgiving.
It's our way of celebrating Christ, The Word, with our words!
Our next contest topic will be unveiled on August 27th, 2026.
If you're subscribed to our newsletter, we'll send an email announcement. If you're not—why aren't you?!
But seriously, sign up. We'd love to have you join in the fun!
