<p>Where would be a good place to publish a high school student's short-stories/writing? What prestigious writing contests exist? I am a rising senior, and I will most likely have little to do throughout the year when I submit my apps, so I will probably be writing a lot (it is a hobby of mines).</p>
<p>NaNoWriMo maybe?</p>
<p>this is totally off topic, but @NotKelly this is the only way to contact you haha since your settings wont let you receive private messages. Please send me your email address again, with the @ separated from everything. The filter blocks it out.</p>

<p>I’d also like to know if there are any Short Story contests. Poetry isn’t really my thing. :)</p>
<p>The link says poetry, but I don’t know why, since it has short story, essay, and creative nonfiction contests, too.</p>
