Dear Teaching Author,

I am a librarian as well as editor with a library-supported literary magazine called 805. We are located in Bradenton, FL but open to submissions the world over. We have an upcoming TEEN issue and are trying to get the word out for submissions. For more information please visit: www.805lit.org. Thank you, Sarah P. Gibson
