YA Markets?

Sury · Mar 19, 2006

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I couldn't find a Young Adult (YA) forum, so am posting here.

I am looking for markets to submit some of my YA short stories. Any help is appreciated

Hello, Sury.

Welcome to Mainstream/Contemporary. I moved your post into a thread of its own so it'll get the attention it deserves.

I have a few YA markets in my bookmarks, but not a whole lot. Some people classify YA in with children's, so there might be some help to you on that board. I'll find what I have and get it posted for you either this evening or tomorrow.

I've been looking for YA short story markets too. I don't think Seventeen does fiction anymore, do they?

With transcription deadlines and storms today, I didn't have a chance to look for the links I promised, but they are on their way.

OK, I think I might have found something that could work for you guys.

Guideposts Sweet 16 (Though to be fair, I don't know if they take fiction.)
Cicada

Unfortunately, that's all I have bookmarked since I don't usually do children's/YA.

(I'm also going to copy this thread over to Children's Writing because I think you'll get more responses there than what I can give.)

This is a great site for children's writing, inc YA. http://www.write4kids.com/wmarket/

My other suggestion would be to check your local library for books like Children's Writers' & Illustrators' Market.

The other option is always google - with search terms like genre (eg sci fi) + ya/children/middle readers + guidelines/submissions/contests - depending on what you're after.

Best of luck

They do have listenings of agents that deal in YA.
