  We'd love to read more work by writers traditionally underrepresented in parenting magazines. Send us personal essays about raising your teens and tweens. Tell us about hard decisions, struggles to get through the day, your worries, and your frustrations. Then let us know how you survived, what you learned, and whom you forgave. Create meaning with introspection. End on a note that makes us care. If you're going to submit an interview, a reported piece, a guide, or a review, we want to read a bite-sized portion of that story-telling technique in these works, too. Our tone is friendly and supportive. Think, "just grabbing a coffee with close friends." Sarcasm, preaching, stridency... yeah no, those aren't our vibe. We're more like parenting is wonderful, but it can also be fucking hard work. Honesty about the challenges we're facing is important, as is providing expert advice and solid support. Our turnaround time from acceptance to publication is typically within a month. $75 for personal essays and shorter reported pieces $125 for longer reported pieces with two interviewees submissions@yourteenmag.com
