Tiny Writes
Hey y'all, hope everyone's having a good day. I just want to thank everyone for the environment that has been created here! Also, has anyone here had any luck getting their writing (specifically short stories) published? If so, how? Thank you!

Hey! Recently I have not had that much work published. But in the past I would post to very contest, and keep up with challenges as well!
hi!! I've been published lots of times on here, so I would recommend just posting as much as you can on here and responding to challenges/contests for ywp! also, if you want to broaden your approach, there are a bajillion other websites with writing contests and challenges, often for money and/or publication.
Could I ask where you have published writing in contests for money? I’ve been wanting to try for while but have not found the right platform or place to do so.
oh I haven't really been personally lol I was just stating what I knew about them, sorry!! I've been thinking about sending in my work to some magazines like Cricket (younger magazine) and Lilith (Jewish publication thingy), but I haven't gotten around to it yet! I did win a YWP contest last year that published me in Seven Days (I think they also do send-ins and contests for themselves) and I recieved $25 for it. But yeah, I don't really know myself besides the famous ones and local ones, sorry! I think Ms. Reid would be a great person to ask for this :D
I agree about what everyone else says about YWP, but I also agree with OverTheRainbow about trying other places! If your school has a writing club like mine does that is a great place to find contests and in school opportunities. So far the only contest I have done outside of YWP or school is the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. I don't think they really publish your work unless you win at a national level but it's still a great opportunity!
