When the archer comes to full draw, when the starting gun points into the air, when the cliff diver walks to the precipice, there is a moment--a moment of anticipation, of stillness, of calm. In those moments there is focus and there is divine clarity. 

​

Quiet Hold is a teen literary journal devoted to showcasing youthful creativity by encouraging us all to find that moment--to find ourselves on the precipice--and let that moment of inspiration lead us to true artistic expression. 

​​​

Created by and for teens, Quiet Hold serves as an oasis in our desert of endless scrolling and distraction. An oasis for teens seeking still waters to explore what steadies them, brings them joy, and cultivates wellness from within. 

​​

Through our portfolio of works and periodic publications, we strive to create this refuge of calm both through the creative process of our contributors and our community of readers.
