To be published by Persea Books in 2010. The target audience is students grades 8 to 12. Stories cover a broad range of topics of interest to contemporary teens such as growing up, budding sexuality, finding a place in society, etc. The main criteria for the stories are literary/artistic values, teen interests and a length of 1000 words or shorter. Various POVS are acceptable as long as the stories focus on teens.
We are looking for more diverse stories (African American, Asian American, Native American, LGBT, Jewish, Muslim, etc.), and more stories about, or at least featuring, current technology (cell phones, computers, etc.).
Previously published stories are fine, but you must hold the rights.
