Harmony Ink Press is looking for young authors (ages 14-21)
who write in the LGBTQ+ genre to submit short stories for their sixth annual
Young Author Challenge.
Your main characters should be 14 – 21 years old. They can
be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or anywhere else on the LGBTQ+
spectrum, including characters who are still in the process of working out their sexual/gender
identity. Your story should portray positive LGBTQ+ characters who grow or
change for the better in some way.
To be considered, your submissions needs to be between 2,000
– 10,000 words.
The Young Author Challenge only accepts work from authors
between the ages of 14 – 21.
Selected stories will be published in an anthology to be
released in both paperback and eBook formats. Payment ranges from $70 – $100
depending on story length.
This challenge is especially exciting because you are
guaranteed to receive feedback from at least one published author, whether your
submission is accepted or not.
Submission Deadline: May 1, 2019
Publication Date: October 2019
Send your submission to submissions@harmonyinkpress.com.
Be sure to include “Young Author Challenge Submission” in the subject line of the
e-mail.
