Youth of Substack

Shining a Light on the Young Writers of This Platform

Sep 23, 2024

Hello, YA Section community!

Jack here with an all-new recommendation post about, as you can deduce from this post’s title, the youth of Substack! I’ll be linking and recommending numerous Substack publications run by writers between the ages of 13 and 25. Because of our age, we teen writers don’t receive as much attention as the many adult writers on Substack. So, right now, it’s time to shine a light on these younger voices to illuminate the future of this platform!

A Christ-Centered community where you will find pure stories, poetry, podcasts, and more. Subscribers will be able to share their Love for Christ through their artistic ways with The Voice Piece.

(Also, I actually used to write for The YA Section before it moved to Substack, and you can still find my devotional and Verse of the Week posts in the archives!)

Alright, that’s it! I really hope I included everyone who applied through the note I posted or The YA Section subscriber chat. Also, if you were included in this post but don’t know why, it’s probably because I also included everyone who was tagged in the note about this post; if you wish, I can remove you. Oh, and even though they didn’t apply to be included in this post, I’d like to give a huge shoutout to

Susi Hevonen

and

Dabido

, whose writing I genuinely love and appreciate.

Anyway, if you haven’t heard of any of these publications, go check them out right now! You’re bound to like what these outstanding young writers have to offer you here on Substack.
