We are looking for stories written by young writers (roughly, ages 12 to 25) which engage us, interest us, and connect us with others. We love stories about romance, technology, historical events, communities underrepresented in literature, and everything in between!

 

We accept submissions on a rolling basis. Submissions are open to writers in all countries. Only online submissions are accepted.

 

We accept submissions in the following categories:

• Fiction: up to 1,500 words

• Nonfiction: up to 1,500 words

• Poetry: up to 3 poems (up to 6 pages total)

 

Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but we ask you that you contact us as soon as possible if your work is accepted elsewhere. Multiple submissions are also accepted.

​

If you would like feedback and critique prior to submitting, check out the Beta Reader Program! We want all of our submitters to feel like they are publishing their best possible drafts!
