Youngzine has recently changed into an environment/climate literacy platform. In keeping with our direction, we encourage you to send us submissions on these themes.

You can write on nature, culture, society, climate, conservation, actions people (or you) are taking to help the environment or even an opinion piece on policies related to the environment.

  • 500-1000 words

  • If your poems are very short, consider submitting several that can be published together!

For all of the above…

  • Please make sure to spell/fact-check any of your work!
  • Your work must be original! We want to see your work and read your words, not someone else’s.

Think you’re ready to submit?
