Fresh Ink is a home for young writers and artists ages 13 to 18, presented by Top-Shelf Literary Magazine. Your creative work is read closely here, valued, and shared with an audience that takes young voices seriously.
Whether you are just beginning or have been filling notebooks and sketchbooks for years, we would love to see your work. Submissions stay open year-round, so there is no deadline to race and no wrong time to send us something you have made.
How to Submit
- Put your work in a Word document or paste it into the body of your message. Include your first name, your age, your country, and the title of each piece.
- You may send up to five pieces at one time. There is no fee, and you may submit as often as you like throughout the year.
- Send your submission to [email protected]
- We will read your work and reply by email. If your piece is accepted, we will send a short acceptance note with one next step: a parent or guardian completes our permission form before your work is published.
