Phanat Nikhom Thank you for your interest submitting to
how to buy accutane KC Voices Youth – Vol. 6
NEW SUBMISSIONS PERIOD:
April 1 to May 31, 2024
We are a small, volunteer operated organization based in Kansas City, and we have a passion for creativity. If you would like to submit, please read our guidelines and send us your poetry, prose, or art.
There is no type of work we are looking for, and while we would love for you to read through our previous issues, it is not an indicator of what kind of work we actively seek. Our editors rotate, our tastes evolve, and good work is just good work. We want to feel something when we encounter a piece. We want to be excited, surprised, thoughtful, and interested. We want to have a reaction. We want to share the best voices we find. Send us that one.

Make sure your name, email address, and any other contact information does not appear in the attachment you upload via Submittable or in the name of the file (e.g., john_smith_submission.docx, smith_art.jpg, etc.). We evaluate pieces based upon your creative voice and the strength of your work, only.

-
Send us work that stands on its own. Book excerpts and individual chapters are difficult to present as self-contained pieces. However, if you are published in KC Voices Youth, we will happily add you and your book to our Community page to help promote it.
