YA Pride is sustained and supported by the contributions of community members like you! Here are some ways you can contribute:

Write for Us

We get a substantial amount of our content from soliciting posts, but we are also interested in receiving submissions. Most of our content going forward will only be in our quarterly, theme-focused issues, the theme of which will be announced in the previous edition.

June 2020 theme: Queer Joy.

For this issue, we want hear about book or writing related moments that made you feel joy– when you got your book deal, when you found an editor/agent who got you, when you met your favorite author, when you read your first queer book, when you were able to connect a teen with a book that they loved, etc. Submit your piece to contact@yapride.org, or email us with any questions. We will reply within a week of submission to let you know if we will be publishing the piece. 

Please note: we are in the process of applying for non-profit status, and in the future hope to be able to pay our contributors. Unfortunately, for now, we are volunteer run and cannot offer monetary compensation.

Updating the Masterlist

We are currently undertaking the massive project of updating our LGBTQIAP+ YA Masterlist, which has not been updated since 2017. If you are interested in helping with this project, please email contact@yapride.org!
