There's an awesome new trend in Young Adult Lit: Teens telling their own candid stories and having their stories published. The publisher that's doing the most work with this right now is called HCI books and they're running a contest for the next series of true-life teen stories. Their series is called Louder Than Words: Real Girls, Real Words, Real Life. They are looking for girls (sorry boys) who like to journal, blog, and/ or write poetry. It seems to me like some of you have powerful life stories and could be potential candidates for this contest.
If you'd like more information or some help/advice on what pieces you should submit, feel free to come and see me.
