Short Story Submission

Do you have a story that’s stayed with you?

Something that made you feel a little more alive, or a little more understood. This one’s for you!

We’re working on a new anthology of true, inspirational stories for teens, and we’re inviting you to be a part of it.

Whether it’s a story about resilience, friendship, failure, hope, or simply navigating life as a young adult; if it’s honest and moving, we want to read it.

Your story could be selected for publication in Grapevine’s upcoming anthology. You’ll also get the chance to join our exclusive community of writers and receive a one-on-one mentorship session to take your writing further.

There’s no submission fee. No prior publishing experience needed.

Submissions are open till August 31, 2025.
