DullPencilPress publishes short fiction, novel excerpts, and essays written for the young adult/teen (YA) audience. It was founded and is operated by a group of passionate YA reader/writer volunteers and an experienced publisher (also a volunteer) to benefit the YA community. The stories are published in a twice yearly anthology series in paperback and e-book. Contents for the anthology are selected by fellow writers and readers of YA stories who choose to participate in the process through this website, as well as our volunteer editors and advisers. All profits from the sale of our books will be donated to support creative writing programs in middle and high schools chosen by its contributors.
