Tween/Teen Short Story Markets

Ebook Winner and Leaving the Pagan Behind

Erin1 Comment

The winner of the ebook giveaway, Playthings of the Gods, is Halli from Alberta (visit her blog at: hallililburn.blogspot.com ). Thanks to everyone for entering the contest.

And leaving the pagan behind, I’ve added a few Christian short-story markets to the links column. I hope to have interviews with the editors sometime soon. In the meantime, since I obviously need some help with this one, please leave me a comment if you know of other Christian short-story markets for young adults.

Also be sure to read Writing for the Teen Religious Market from Writing-World.com. The article is a little dated but the advice is still excellent.

Win an ebook of Playthings of the Gods (Drollerie Press, 2011).

You can enter the ebook drawing in two ways: 1.) leave a comment, along with your email address, on this post by March 1 OR 2.) subscribe to Word Crushes by March 1. A winner will be chosen at random with the help of Random.org.

From the publisher: “Forget what you think you know about Greek Mythology. The Gods are back—if they ever left—and this time they’re using our modern world as their playground. Enjoy fourteen stories that take you from deity-inhabited skyscrapers to cobwebbed, gated manors atop a hill, and everywhere in between.”

And if you’d like to write your own story based on mythology, legends, or fairy tales, then check out these markets for older teens through adults:

Drollerie Press

Cabinet Des Fees: A journal of fairy tales

Dante’s Heart

Enchanted Conversation: A fairy tale magazine

Quail Bell Magazine

Wicked East Press (scroll down to Twisted Fairy Tales)

Know of any other markets for myth-lovers? Then leave me a comment with the publication’s name and URL and I’ll add it to the list.
