Teen Book Project – On the Other Side Now Available

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 2021-2022 Teen Editorial Board? 

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR OUR INFORMATION MEETING!

Come to our information meeting to learn more about how to get involved. Work with a team of teen editors (accepting grades 8+) to design, edit and publish our sixth book of Cleveland teen writing. This information meeting will give you a better sense of the responsibilities and support you can expect by joining the LEI teen editorial board. This meeting will be held September 2 from 6:00-7:00 PM through zoom. Only teens grades 8 and up are allowed to be on the board.

I want to Submit. Are you Accepting Submissions?

We accept submissions on a yearly basis. Check back in the fall of 2021.

A Word of Thanks

We offer our deepest gratitude to our young professional board, Fresh Ink, for sponsoring this program.  Fresh Ink is a group of young professionals who raise funds and friends in support of Lake Erie Ink’s mission. This program is also made possible with the support of the Callahan Foundation and the Nord Family Foundation.

The books in this series are produced by Belt Magazine.  Thank you, Belt, for your commitment to grooming the Rust Belt writers of tomorrow.
