The 2026 Florida Writers Association Collection Volume 18 Theme Is Fragments

Let this year’s theme of Fragments serve as a metaphor to ask yourself how people, places, and things that may seem broken can be put back together and, in doing so, may become more resilient.

Places in ruins may be rebuilt—shoring up what’s left of the old with a sturdier infrastructure. Family members or friends may be separated by time or distance only to find that separation makes the heart grow fonder once they’re reunited.

Often the bonds that unite are stronger than the thin lines that divide.

Take the metaphor and write with it!
