Kensington doesn't take YA fiction anymore. Spencerhill Press has been getting complaints from their authors. And also Soho Press no longer takes unagented submissions.<br /><br />Lastly, the Pencil is being absorbed into the Pen because it isn't working as a separate entity. It's definitely time to make a new and updated list. Lisa M.

It would be considered a big red flag if you have to pay for something and they claim to be a traditional publisher. Those are vanity presses and in most cases are a very bad idea. If you wanted to do some separate promotional work, that's up to you. But again, unless you are self-publishing, never pay the publisher. Money should always flow to the writer, not away from them.

In some cases, YA publishers are looking for teen writers. For example, Medallion Press looks for YA-YA. Which means, young adults writing young adult novels. If you go to their submission guidelines, it even says YA by young adults ages 12-19. There are also other places like this, some on my list. You'll need to do your research and pay attention to the guidelines of course. But it may play a part in your favor. Good Luck!<br /><br />Lisa M.

Usually the guidelines or on the publisher's FAQs page will state what they accept or not. Remember if a publisher doesn't state it on their guidelines, it never hurts to slip them an email about it. As I've mentioned, all these pubs listed here are pretty responsive. Good luck to you! Thanks again for visiting.Lisa M.
