Getting Youth Articles and Stories Published
Following are some websites that
publish youth-written content:
Wiretap
WireTap is always looking for new writers and artists to add to the site. We
are happy to review all submissions from young people but we are most likely to
PUBLISH writing that: is generally respectful and socially responsible, is
written in a personal voice, is well researched and carefully written,
addresses social and political issues from a youth perspective, has an
activist, or "what are you going to DO about it?" spin to it, seeks to include
those who have not traditionally had a voice. If you are not up to writing an
article or essay yourself, we are always interested in your comments, story
ideas and suggestions about what you'd like to see on the page.
