Daily Lit Deviations for July 12, 2009

*DailyLitDeviations:iconDailyLitDeviations: reports, 21h 16m ago
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you :+fav: the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Resources for Young Writers

Resources for Young Writers

You may think that you have to become an adult to share and publish your writing, but there are resources all over the web that can help you share your work now. There’s nothing stopping you from getting involved. In fact, there is a whole mass of magazines and communities out there waiting for young writers to get involved. In this article, I’ve collected various resources for you to browse through.

Note: Be sure to read all rules and guidelines before submitting, and check with your parents. Remember, be wary of scams, be safe, and don’t agree to anything without reading first. Also, check for the age limits. Some competitions and magazines only allow certain ages to submit.

Success Stories


There are many authors out there who started writing at a young age.

In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes – Written when she was 13

Eragon by Christopher Paolini – Written when he was 15

The Outsiders by SE Hinton – Written when she was 16

The Icarus Girl by Helen Oyeyemi – Written when she was 18

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley – Written when she was 19

An Eighteen Year Old Looks Back On Life by Joyce Maynard – Written when she was 19

The point is, you can pursue a career of writing at any age, and people find success in different places. Maybe one day you’ll be lucky enough to see your name on the cover of a book, or a magazine. It doesn’t necessarily have to be now, or later. If you work on it, you’ll get there.
