  Market Tidbits for July 2015

Additions to the Adult Writers' List

• HistoriCool is an Australian print magazine whose aim is to provide entertaining and educational historical content for ages 8-14. This is a paying market and is willing to consider submissions from anywhere in the world. Check here for writer guidelines. I'm excited that the editor, Lucy Singer, has provided us additional insights into this publication through an interview for this issue of Writing for Children's Magazines. Check it out here.

• Stinkwaves is a bi-annual YA literary magazine with 70-90 pages of entertaining poetry, fiction, and illustrations. It is published in both print and ebook formats. Check here for submission guidelines. They say they are looking for "adventure, action, Sci-Fi, supernatural, spooky ghost stories, inspirational…etc." This is currently a non-paying market.

• Schoolwide is a digital data base of reading materials for Grades K-8. I've had it included in my Educational Market List for a while, but had not thought about including it here on the magazine list until a reader recently suggested it. I realized I have other online story sites included in the magazine list, so it makes sense. Schoolwide publishes many forms of reading material including articles, short stories, and poetry. Submission guidelines are here. Payment is in the form of royalties.



Additions to the Young Writers' List

• HistoriCool (see above for information) encourages submissions from young writers ages 8-14. Submission guidelines are here.

• Stinkwaves (see above for information) is open to submissions from writers and illustrators of all ages. Guidelines are here.

Highlights Expands Online Submissions

Highlights Hello and Highlights High Five are both now accepting online submissions of stories and poems. The instructions say that they welcome multiple submissions, but that only one story or poem should be uploaded at a time. This is the submission site.



Starsongs Update

After a hiatus, Starsongs magazine is starting up publication again later this summer and is actively seeking submissions. Their current list of themes can be found here. The magazine is published quarterly. It features short stories, essays, articles, poetry, photography, and artwork by young people ages 9 - 19. Each issue also includes a single piece on the craft of writing written by an adult. They prefer that that article be written by previously published authors.



This and That

• GREYstone is once again open for submissions from K-12 students and teachers.

• Kids who want to be part of Pockets advisory board can apply July 1-31. Check here for information.

• If you're interested in submitting to Guide magazine, an interview of the editor, Randy Fishell, "How to Talk to Young People" was published May 22nd here--and might give you some additional insights into what he likes. Use the search function.
