Addition to the List Suddenly Lost in Words is a new publication for young adults. When I asked if they were an ezine, this is the response I received, "We are technically not an ezine. However, it is our intention to feature selected YA short stories on our website as well as publish in the eBook market. We will be publishing as often as we have great groups of stories to share. Hopefully, often!" Suddenly Lost in Words pays 5 cents/word. Submissions are made through their online submissions page. Check here for details. Thank you, Talia Haven, for sharing this news on Verla Kay's forum.
