Calling All #KidLit Writers!
Entering our fifth year, Young Adulting Review is expanding our scope. We noticed a gap in the publishing sphere: while there are many places to submit and publish short literary fiction online, very few such places exist for writers of short fiction for children and young adults to publicize their work.
That’s why Young Adulting Review is thrilled to announce the First Page Feature!
The First Page Feature is a chance for emerging writers to feature the first page of their works-in-progress (ranging from Middle Grade to New Adult) in our monthly newsletter. Getting featured includes the opportunity for emerging writers to publicize themselves and their work as well as answer three interview questions to share their creative process and writing journey.
Bring us your best first pages for children and young adults: your magic and whimsy, your heartbreak and your joy. We can’t wait to go on this journey with you.
Read our First Page Feature Submission Guidelines here.
After you’ve read the submission guidelines and you’re ready to submit, please submit your story here.
Submissions are open until January 31, 2024. Submissions after January 31 will not be read.
At this time, we do not offer paid compensation for first pages. Please note that we are only accepting submissions from current UBC students and alumni.
As always, if you have any questions, please send us an email at young.adulting@ubc.ca.
