We’re still taking this moment in… 🤍

Literary Freedom Publishing has been named a finalist for the 2026 Women-Owned Business of the Year by the Little Rock Regional Chamber.

What started as a vision to give voices a platform has grown into a purpose-driven mission—empowering authors, uplifting young writers, and building confidence through the power of words.

This moment belongs to every author, student, and supporter who’s been part of the journey. Thank you for believing in us.

No matter the outcome, we’re grateful—and we’re just getting started. 📚✨

🥇 1st Place: Anaiya McClendon
📍 North Little Rock High School

🥈 2nd Place: Rory Strasser

We are incredibly proud of Anaiya and Rory, and we’re honored to support them as they take the next steps in their writing journeys.

Judge: Keira N. James

Bio:
Keira N. James is an indie thriller author hailing from Danville, GA. While the U.S. Navy once claimed her dedication, her heart has always belonged to the world of words.

Keira's love affair with books started long before her writing journey began. She'd lose herself in the pages of gripping tales, and now, she's the one crafting those twists, giving readers the same excitement she once enjoyed as a bookworm.

With dedication and determination, she has provided exceptional literary experiences for her readers, disrupted the book marketing within the independent author space, and been awarded Most Anticipated Release, Best Collaborative series, and Best Romantic Thriller awards for her novels, Bodied and The Vision Unveiled.

So, if you're looking for heart-pounding, page-turning suspense, Keira N. James is your go-to author. Dive into her world of thrillers and get ready for a literary escape like no other.

💬 A message from Keira to this year’s teen writers:

“You were called to create, not please. Trust the God who gave you the vision to guide the ex*****on. Don't chase perfection, chase purpose. Don't wait for discipline to show up, become it. What you build today will become your legacy tomorrow. So, write with fire, faith, and know that you have full permission to take up space in this industry. You can do this.”

We are grateful for the time and insight our volunteer judges are sharing with the next generation of writers.

🗓 Judging concludes: March 31, 2026

💬 A message from Toni to this year’s teen writers:
