<p>Where can high school students get there art and/or writing published?</p>
<p>Art: Contests, Paid work</p>
<p>Writing: Contests, Magazines (literary and genre), Books, Anthologies</p>
<p>I was published in middle school once through a poetry thing.</p>
<p>If you want to be seriously published (not just mags and stuff) then send out a boatload of query’s to agents, who will then get your stuff published through publishers.</p>
<p>It’s a long process but really worth it.</p>
<p>Magazine publishing can be quite serious, if it’s a professional market (≥5¢ a word). Even a semi-professional publishing is something to be proud of.</p>
<p>^
It is, but i’m just saying if a person has done that bit to much and wants a bit more, they can just start with the “real” publishing biz.</p>
<p>Magazines are serious but most writers would like to just take that next step into the publishing world.</p>
<p>Well, the OP hasn’t said anything about being published in a magazine, and it sounds like there hasn’t been any publishing.</p>
<p>Sure, book publishing is the biggest deal, but some of the most prolific writers have gotten a start (and continued with) magazine publishing. I would recommend it for starting writers; why waste months writing a novel, only to find that it isn’t good enough? Why not do a bunch of short stories (or poems, if that’s your thing), and improve each time until you’re published? It’s not the amount of writing you need to practice, it’s setting up and ending a story. I’d rather write 20 short stories before any of them were good enough than 20 unpublished novels.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. Does anyone know any examples of magazines I could look into? It would really help if anyone has/will apply to college that has already had stuff published.</p>
<p>You’ll have to be more specific than that. What genres do you write in? If you deal in speculative fiction, fantasy, and/or sci-fi, you can take a look at some of the following magazines: [Speculative</a> Fiction Markets](<a href=“http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mslee/mag.html]Speculative”>http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mslee/mag.html).</p>
<p>I like writing poetry, essays, and research papers. When it comes to art, I usually do photography, painting, and film.</p>
<p>neltharion, that’s a pretty outdated list. The professional standard (as set by the SFWA) is now 5 cents a word, and several (ie Fantasy, Lightspeed) are missing.</p>

<p>Selenafan, I don’t know about essays or research papers, but poetry can go to literary magazines. A list: [Literary</a> Magazines and Journals Database| Poets & Writers](<a href=“Literary Magazines - Nearly 1,000 Journals and Magazines | Poets & Writers”>Literary Magazines - Nearly 1,000 Journals and Magazines | Poets & Writers*)</p>
<p>Also, register here ([Winning</a> Writers - Poetry Contests, Prose Contests, Free Contests](<a href=“http://www.winningwriters.com/]Winning”>http://www.winningwriters.com/)) with the free option to get lists of writing contests. Some are hard, but you can enter a lot of free contests (I had some success fairly early on).</p>
<p>For art, there are tons of contests. Entire magazines devoted to photography hold contests. I don’t really know specifics, though.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Thank you BillyMc! You have no idea how much you’ve helped me haha. Will accoplishing these things impress ivy leagues?</p>
<p>There’s only one Ivy League.</p>
<p>But seriously, how impressive it is depends on what you do with it. I didn’t include writing on any of my applications, as I didn’t think the contests I’ve had success in were of great note. If, however, you had steady magazine publication, or won a very large contest, then it’s probably worthwhile to note. Unless you’re a major writer, though, it’s not going to have a ton of pull.</p>
<p>Oh, and don’t enter anything that costs money; it’s probably just a money making scheme.</p>
<p>Sorry, I meant all the schools in the Ivy League. Thanks again for all of your help.</p>
