Teen Book Project and Teen Editorial Board
What is the Teen Editorial Board?
Lake Erie Ink’s teen editorial board is a group of high school students who gather submissions of original teen writing and compile them into a professional publication. Editorial board members have the chance to learn first hand about the editing process and publishing industry while giving voice to youth from across the region. The editorial board then meets regularly to choose a theme, collect submissions and organize and publish the book, which is released in the spring.
Meet the 2020-2021 teen editors.
Interested in Joining the 2022-2023 Teen Editorial Board?
Consider registering and become a published editor! The group meets weekly and will be accepting new members Fall of 2022.
I want to Submit. Are you Accepting Submissions?
Not currently. We will accept submissions for our next anthology (theme to be announced) in winter of 2022/spring of 2023.
A Word of Thanks
