SOME LINKS FOR writing publishing/contests
tEEN INKWelcome to Teen Ink, a national teen magazine, book series, and website devoted entirely to teenage writing, art, photos, and forums. For over 25 years, Teen Ink has offered teens the opportunity to publish their creative work and opinions on issues that affect their lives – everything from love and family to school, current events, and self-esteem. Hundreds of thousands of students, aged 13 -19, have submitted their work to us and we have published more than 55,000 teens since 1989.

What is NaNoWriMo?National Novel Writing Month happens every November! It's a fun, seat-of-your-pants writing event where the challenge is to complete an entire novel in just 30 days. For one month, you get to lock away your inner editor, let your imagination take over, and just create!
That means participants begin writing November 1 and must finish by midnight, November 30. The word-count goal for our adult program is 50,000 words, but the Young Writers Program (YWP) allows 17-and-under participants to set reasonable, yet challenging, individual word-count goals. In 2013, over 300,000 adults participated through our main site, and nearly 90,000 young writers participated through the YWP. |
What is Creative Kids?Creative Kids magazine is the only magazine by kids for kids, ages 8–16. Everything in the magazine is written or created by kids just like you (except for the editor's note).
Creative Kids was started more than 20 years ago as a publication to support the work of kids across the world. Today, we publish four quarterly, full-color issues each year, including the super-sized (52-page) issue each summer. The staff includes editors with experience in teaching and working with talented kids, five senior contributors ages 14–18, and an advisory board of 12 students ages 8–16.. |
