About the organization

The Telling Room is a nonprofit writing center based in Portland, Maine, founded in 2004 on the belief that the power of creative expression can change communities and transform lives. Its core mission is to empower youth and community members through writing, publishing, and storytelling, with a particular focus on young writers aged 6–18. The organization provides free writing programs, in-school residencies, and publication opportunities that amplify diverse voices often underrepresented in traditional literary spaces.

Application guidance

The Telling Room primarily publishes work by youth participants in its programs, though it occasionally opens calls for specific anthologies or community projects. Artists and writers interested in submitting should review the 'Places to Publish' page for current opportunities, which may include themed calls for youth writing or community-based collections. Submissions are typically accepted via email or an online portal, with guidelines emphasizing originality, authentic voice, and alignment with the organization's mission. Response times vary, and simultaneous submissions are generally discouraged unless stated otherwise. It is advisable to follow submission guidelines closely and consider volunteering or teaching as a way to engage with the community.
