Authors age 14-21 - want to be professionally published?

[Kaje]

Harmony Ink Press is looking for young authors writing in the LGBTQ+ genre to submit short stories for their third annual Young Author Challenge. Harmony Ink is the YA line from Dreamspinner Press, and well-established.


Submissions between 2,000 –10,000 words will be considered.
Main characters should be 14–21 years old and can be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or anywhere else on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, including still in the process of working out their sexual/gender identity.

The story should portray positive LGBTQ+ characters who grow or change for the better in some way. See the general Harmony Ink submission guidelines for more information.

HERE’S HOW IT WILL WORK
• Authors will be between the ages of 14–21. If the author is
17 or younger, a parent or legal guardian will have to sign the
publication contract should a story be accepted.
• Selected stories will be published in an anthology to be
released in both paperback and eBook formats.
• Accepted authors will be paid a flat rate based on story
length. Payments will range from $35–$65.
• Feedback from at least one published author will be provided
for all submissions.
• Submission Deadline: May 1, 2018
• Publication Date: October 2018

They have authors from all around the world - you could definitely contact them - you can email their submissions email or through their contact page - https://www.harmonyinkpress.com/conta... - and verify that there are no issues but I think there's a good chance that would be fine.

Will you be 14 by May 1 2019? Because this year's submissions are over, but they do it every year, and that's the next deadline. That gives you almost a year to practice and show people your work, and get feedback, and polish up your submission. Good luck!

Just a reminder that this year's deadline is May 1 2019 -
