We are now accepting submissions for our LOVE ME, LOVE ME NOT writing competition!
We’re looking for fiction short stories & poems all about love… or anti-love! Tell us your best epic romance or breakup. A first love or first heartbreak. Rep the sisterly love for “Galentines”, or highlight a bromance. However you interpret the prompt!
One short story and one poetry winner will be featured on our website, social media, and podcast!
Read the following rules and guidelines for more info:
Short Story – Submissions must be 1000 words or less
Poetry – Submissions must be 500 words or less
*Content Note: Because we are a platform for young adult readers and writers, we ask that all submissions exclude explicit content dealing with violence, gore, substance abuse, etc. We do not accept erotica or works with graphic sexual scenes. Please keep this in mind!
Winners will be contacted mid-late February, so be sure to check your emails! Winners will also be invited to join the Pine Reads Review podcast to read an excerpt of their piece, and have their winning submission featured on our website and social media.
Unfortunately we are unable to offer payment for works published to the site.
