Short Story Submissions

You have written and mailed (well, almost mailed - we still need to insert SASEs) your children's book. Now it is time to find a place you would like to submit your short story to.

You can use the links below to help you find a literary journal. Once you have found a place to submit your short story, complete the following items in a comment on this blog, print out your story as directed by the submission guidelines, and address an envelope:

1. What story are you submitting and why?
2. Where are you submitting your story? Why?
3. What do the submission guidelines instruct you to do?
4. How does it feel sending your writing out into the world versus just having a student in class read it?

Places to look for literary journals:

Teen Ink
Poets & Writers
The Claremont Review
Cicada
New Moon (for girls)
Polyphony H.S.
Teen Voices (girls and young adult women)
TeenLit
Go! Magazine writing contest
