Under the Madness is open for submissions!
A magazine for teen writers—by teen writers.
We accept submissions in poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction from writers ages 13-19 from around the world. We welcome submissions in English (translations are wonderful) from teens who’ve never published as well as experienced teen writers.
Whether you live in Berlin, NH, or Berlin, Germany—whether you wake up every day in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North or South America—we’re interested in reading you!
Under the Madness brings together twelve student editors from across New Hampshire under the mentorship of the state poet laureate to focus on the experiences of teens from around the world. We envision the magazine to serve as a meeting place for teen writers, with upcoming virtual events and workshops.
Special Features!

History:
The magazine began as an off-shoot of the 2021 North Country Young Writers’ Festival. An editorial board composed of teens from New Hampshire work closely with the state poet laureate to manage the magazine. The intent is to provide New Hampshire teens with leadership opportunities in the creative arts and to empower them to make decisions benefiting fellow teens from New Hampshire, the United States, and around the world. Under the Madness is made possible with the generous support of the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund and the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.
