  • Open to students internationally in the 9th-12th grade (at time of submission). We publish: Nonfiction, Fiction, Poetry, Art, Photography, & Multimedia content.
  • Please review your work(s) for syntax errors. Punctuation is just as important as the content itself.

  • For visual art submissions, please include the medium as well as the dimensions.
  • If your work is accepted, you will need to fill out our consent form for your work to be published on our website. 
  • If accepted, you will not receive any sort of compensation for your work. 
  • We do not accept work previously published online, including social media. We will accept simultaneous submissions, but please withdraw if accepted elsewhere.
