Red Squirrel Magazine

"Xiaoduo Media [Website is in Chinese, but you can see cover images there and the guidelines are English] is a boutique publishing house with a portfolio of premium quality publications for children in China and a pioneer in the re-packaging of English and other language content for the Chinese audience. Currently we have three monthly magazines targeting elementary school students, one of which is literature called Red Squirrel. We have introduced many contemporary children's literature from both US and Europe to our Chinese readers, including the writers and their works. We are the only children's magazine in China that has done that.

"For our magazines published next year we are looking for authors, who could supply us with short stories. The age group of our young readers is from 8 to 12. We are looking for cool stories in length of 500 to 2000 words (An exact word count should be noted on each manuscript submitted. Word count includes every word, but does not include the title of the manuscript or the author's name.) For the selected works we will pay a rate up to 0.25 USD per word."

Submissions, queries and questions should be directed to:
Editor: Conny Fang
By e-mail to: 1541522674@qq.com
Please send the submission pasted directly into the email itself.

My Light, an online Catholic magazine for children, has been on hiatus since December as its staff revamped the magazine's format and designed a new website. They plan to relaunch the ezine in mid-July. Submissions are welcome. Three new features are being added--"God's Amazing World" (non-fiction articles highlighting fascinating animals, plants, and other aspects of nature), "Vocations" (non-fiction articles about religious vocations), and "Light Beams" (a section for children's writing). Please check guidelines for submission requirements. The old link will connect to the new site when My Light relaunches. This is a non-paying market.
