Flip the Page is accepting submissions for 2013!

Flip the Page: Central Ohio’s Teen Literary Magazine is back and accepting submissions for the Spring 2013 issue. If you’re 13-19 years old and live in Central Ohio, we want to read your writing!

Flip the Page is written, staffed, and produced by teens, making it a wonderful learning opportunity for all involved (including us).  Our mission is to provide a showcase for the work of local teenagers and offer opportunities to learn about publishing.  Last year, we received well over 100 submissions that encompassed all genres of writing and we are hoping for the same exciting turn out in 2013.

So, get to writing and send in your short stories, essays, poems, songs, plays, science fiction, epics (as long as they’re under 800 words) and anything else that you can get down on paper.  All accepted writers receive a complimentary copy of the magazine and an opportunity to read their work at the Columbus Arts Festival in June 2013.

You’re Gonna Flip Over This!

A new teen literary magazine debuts this week for Central Ohio. Talented young writers from the Greater Columbus area have put their original writings of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, articles and artwork into Flip the Page. This literary magazine is a collaboration between Thurber House and local writer and arts educator Kelli Trinoskey.  In its first year, Flip the Page received over 70 submissions from young writers 13-19 years old. Twenty-six writings and three illustrations are featured in the magazine.

Fifteen of the twenty-six young authors featured in the magazine, will read their work during the Columbus Arts Festival on the Poetry Stage today,  June 5 at 7 pm.  An open mic reception at Thurber Center will follow the reading.

Flip the Page will be on sale for $5.00 at the Columbus Arts Festival during the reading. Thurber Country Bookstore and Cover To Cover Bookstore will carry the magazine this summer for $5.00.
