The Mission of Creativity Starts Here!
Young Adult Magazines
Cadaverine Magazine: accepts unsolicited submissions of literary fiction, poetry and reviews by writers under the age of 30. International submissions are welcome but all submissions must be in English.
Canvas: Canvas Teen Literary Journal publishes quarterly in Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Established in Spring 2013 through Writers & Books Literary Center in Rochester, NY, we began with issues available in eBook and PDF formats and on the website. Spring 2014 marked a new direction for Canvas, with issues now also available in print.
Cicada Magazine: is a YA lit/comics magazine fascinated with the lyric and strange and committed to work that speaks to teens' truths. We publish poetry, realistic and genre fic, essay, and comics by adults and teens. (We are also inordinately fond of Viking jokes.) Our readers are smart and curious; submissions are invited but not required to engage young adult themes.
Creating Iris: is a new literary magazine that launched in January 2014. Iris features new fiction for teens (roughly, ages 14-17) with an LGBTQAI slant. Iris is a safe place for young adults – a magazine which features engaging, transporting, challenging stories that offer a breath of fresh air in the young adult literary market.
Hunger Mountain: is both a print and online journal of the arts. We publish fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, visual art, young adult and children’s writing, and literary miscellany. Our print issue comes out annually in the spring, and our online content changes on a regular basis.
Mental Floss: is an intelligent read, but not too intelligent. We're the sort of intelligent that you hang out with for a while, enjoy our company, laugh a little, smile a lot and then we part ways. Great times. And you only realize how much you learned from us after a little while. Like a couple days later when you're impressing your friends with all these intriguing facts and things you picked up from us, and they ask you how you know so much, and you think back on that great afternoon you spent with us and you smile.
Polyphony HS: is an international student-run literary magazine for high-school writers. Our title is a combination of the Greek term meaning many voices, and the abbreviation for High School. Polyphony H.S. is published annually in August. We offer three awards for excellence in writing through the Claudia Ann Seaman Awards, one each in poetry, fiction, and literary non-fiction.
Rookie: is an independently-run online magazine and book series founded in 2011 by Editor-in-Chief Tavi Gevinson. We publish writing, photography, and other forms of artwork by and for teenagers (and their cohorts of any age!). We publish work from contributors and readers all over the world.
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards: Through the Scholastic Awards, teens in grades 7 through 12 from public, private, or home schools can apply in 29 categories of art and writing for their chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited and published.
Sucker Literary: is a platform for established and emerging, hugely intelligent writers who have the grit and talent to create compelling, authentic young adult literature that both adults and teens can enjoy. We are a literary enterprise dedicated to showcasing and promoting undiscovered and established writers who write for young adults (this is not to be mistaken for young adult writers). We are not affiliated with any writer’s organization or program and welcome writers at any stage of their writing career/ journey.
The Claremont Review: was first published in 1992 by a team of editors who saw a need to provide young adult artists with a legitimate venue to display their work. We publish poems, short stories, short plays, graphic art, photography, and interviews each year in the spring and fall.
The Telling Room: is a nonprofit writing center in Portland, Maine, dedicated to the idea that children and young adults are natural storytellers. Focused on young writers ages 6 to 18, we seek to build confidence, strengthen literacy skills, and provide real audiences for our students. We believe that the power of creative expression can change our communities and prepare our youth for future success.
VOYA: Founded in 1978, Voice of Youth Advocates, or (VOYA), magazine is the leading library journal dedicated to the needs of young adult librarians, the advocacy of young adults, and the promotion of young adult literature and reading.
Wattpad: is a place to discover and share stories: a social platform that connects people through words. It is a community that spans borders, interests, languages. With Wattpad, anyone can read or write on any device: phone, tablet, or computer.
Worn Stories: is a collection of stories about clothing and memory that has been edited by Emily Spivack since 2010.
YARN: is an award-winning literary journal that publishes outstanding original short fiction, poetry, and essays for Young Adult readers.
