Teen Anthology: Write Your Own Adventure

Accepting Submissions November 1st-December 31st

We’ve all heard of the amazing book series where you become the character who makes unique choices to determine your own fate. It’s always thrilling to see which twists and turns are around each corner, and maybe you even go back and re-read the same book over and over, looking for different outcomes. The unexpected threads are the very best part.

Well, this year’s theme is NOT to write a typical adventure with different threads and endings…

It’s more along the lines of Writing an Adventure…of Your Choosing.

We still want those unexpected twists and turns. We want protagonists who make daring choices that determine their actions and outcomes. We want magic and mayhem and love and fear. We want it all—from deep space romances, gritty westerns, sassy fairy tales, and epic journeys—and we want it in your voice, your style, and as your unique brain child. Wherever YOUR imagination takes you, that’s where we want to go!

So, come on, take us on an adventure of your choosing!
