Our mission
We are not looking for the best voice in the room. We are making sure every voice gets a room.
Every young person has something to say — a story to tell, an argument to make, an image to share, a voice waiting to be heard. Competitions spotlight a handful of winners and leave everyone else wondering if they belong. NextVox publishes every original submission that passes a basic editorial review. Participation and visibility — not exclusivity.
How to submit ✦
You create
A story, a poem, an essay, a painting, a comic — anything you made yourself and are proud of.
Editors read everything
Real editors review every submission for originality and appropriateness. This is not a contest — nobody is competing with you.
You're published
Your work appears in the magazine with your first name (or pen name) and grade. That's it — you're a published writer or artist.

Our contributors are young people, and we build like it. Here is exactly what we do — and never do — with their information:
- Only a first name or pen name and grade level are ever shown
- No last names, emails, schools, or locations — anywhere, ever
- No public comments, no profiles, no messaging between users
- An editor reviews every piece before anyone can see it
- Hidden photo data (like GPS location) is stripped from uploaded art
Got something to say?
We’d love to read it. Every original piece that passes review gets published.
