<p>I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this kind of thing, so any mod, feel free to move this thread if necessary.</p>
<p>Anyway, I love to write. I've won a couple of creative writing contests in the county, I'm a writing fellow (had to have 3 pieces submitted for publication) with a local nonprofit that funds writing for teenagers, I'm going to the State level in a public speaking contest after winning District and Area (here's hoping I place at States!), I got a 5 on AP English exam sophomore year with no studying (they basically threw me into the auditorium because a bunch of people didn't show up to take their tests), blah, blah, blah. </p>
<p>I'm trying to do something meaningful with my writing that will also look good for college. I mean, it's all well and good to have a moleskine full of ideas, but they're not really helping me if no one reads them.</p>
<p>The problem is, most of my stories are about 1000 words or less; they're flash fiction, I suppose. I also have a set of about 20 unrelated poems, but I don't know whether it's easier to get short fiction or poetry published. I've been browsing places like Duotrope's Digest, and I'm probably going to submit a short story to Cicada, but does any of the smart people here have a similar love for writing and know a magazine that publishes teenagers' work?</p>
