This is a young adult speculative fiction online magazine and podcast from the Escape Artists suite of magazines. They have detailed guidelines about the kind of work they want, including, “Stories that evoke a sense of wonder, have deep emotional resonance, and have something unreal about them. We aim for a 12-17 age range: that means sophisticated, non-condescending stories with wide appeal, and without gratuitous or explicit sex, violence or pervasive obscene language.” And, “We don’t exclusively define YA as stories featuring children or young adult characters, though they are very common. We would particularly like to receive more stories about older people having first experiences!” They also accept submissions from writers under the age of 18, as well as translations and reprints.
Deadline: 14 September 2025
Length: Up to 6,000 words
Pay: $0.08/word
