Call :: The Dolomite Review Debut Issue

The Dolomite Review is currently accepting submissions for its debut issue to be published January 2026.

Rooted in Michigan and steeped in the spirit of the Midwest, The Dolomite Review features writing that captures the subtle tensions of place and people — the rust belt cities, the wind-battered shorelines, the endless fields and small towns where stillness speaks volumes. It’s about the unsaid, the nearly forgotten, the moment just before everything changes.

The theme of The Dolomite Review inaugural issue is “new beginnings and firsts” — first steps, first frost, first love, first loss. The first time you left home. The first time you came back. The editors are interested in beginnings that don’t announce themselves. They want the quiet moments before or after the turning point — the kind that only feel like a “first” when you look back.

This theme is a guide, not a rule. The Dolomite Review is looking for great storytelling and voices readers will want to come back to. If that might be you, learn more about how to submit to The Dolomite Review here.

Publications for Young Writers

NewPages maintains two guides where young readers and writers can find print and online literary magazines to read, places to publish their own works, and legitimate contests: Publications for Young Writers and Writing Contests for Young Writers. Both of these are ad-free resources regularly updated with carefully vetted content.

Many of the magazines listed on NewPages Publications for Young Writers include resources to inspire and mentor writing. One such publication is the Young Writers Project that features a full year’s worth of writing and visual art “Challenges.” These are organized by week, with all entries in response to these prompts being considered for various publications, including the monthly digital magazine, The Voice, as well as for the YWP annual anthology.

In addition to this, YWP’s Community Journalism Project runs weekly prompts based on “newsy, issue-based challenges” as well as a special Climate Change Project.

These are wonderful resources for teachers to use in the classroom as well as for anyone mentoring young readers or writers in their lives.
