As many of you are no doubt aware, SBS is now privileged to be relauched! The theme of the first issue is “a celebration of writing”, and we hope you’ll take this as a loose guide as to the sort of work we are hoping for. Please do note that we’re not asking you to write about writing, we simply want to celebrate writing itself.
Submissions open today, and the submission guidelines have been updated appropriately. You have until 16th June to email your entries to survivalbystorytelling@gmail.com.
We really cannot wait to read and publish the best of what young writers have to offer, and we are also privileged to have an extremely wonderful and successful author to be our first interviewee. More details to follow when they are confirmed!
Until then, all the best from your editorial team,
Fi and Imelda.

Is that supposed to tell us what kind of context you want in the submissions? Unless your suggesting that there is a “loose” guide somewhere, just saying “A celebration of writing” is no where near even a loose comment on what kind of submissions you are “hoping” for. If you want to get what you are “hoping” for, being more specific may help.
We aren’t looking for a specific style. We’re open to anything. The wonder of young adult writing is how diverse it can be if we do not pigeon hole it. Any genre, style, form, experiment, just send it to us. What we want is good writing.
If we’ve previously posted the writing on TW/YWO, can we still submit it?
You can, providing that the writing has been removed from either site.
