A Proud Member of the CLMP

YARN became a proud member of the CLMP in 2012. We are so honored to be among great literary journals like Ploughshares, Conjunctions, and Guernica. And we are grateful for the indispensable resources that can only be found there.

It's very calm over here, why not leave a comment?

It's a brilliant thing to have a place where you can read fresh original short stories by both seasoned YA authors and aspiring teens. YARN is a great tool box for growing up writing. - Cecil Castellucci

Imagine. Envision. Write. Revise. Submit. Read.

YARN is an award-winning literary journal that publishes outstanding original short fiction, poetry, and essays for Young Adult readers, written by the writers you know and love, as well as fresh new voices...including teens.

We also believe in feedback, which is why we encourage readers to post comments on pieces that inspire thought, emotion, laughter...or whatever.

So. What's your YARN?
