Submit Your Story

Tomorrow Club warmly welcomes  submissions from young people who want to share their stories with an international audience. If you’re under 35, we encourage you to pitch your story to us.

While we prioritise submissions from the focus region, currently Asia, we are open to anyone, anywhere.

We’re looking for personal stories, in fiction or non-fiction with a youth specific perspective that connects with our vision. 

The format can be long articles, commentary, essays, poems, short stories, lyrics and other creative forms of expression based on the written word (ideally between 600 to 2,000 words). Video story formats are also welcome. If speaking out comes with risks, the option to write under a pseudonym is possible.

To submit, send us your pitch/idea (no more than 400 words), along with a biography and any links to previously published work, if you have them. If not, don't worry, that's partly why we are here. If your idea suits our mission, we’ll work with you.

Email your pitches to: [email protected]. Our editors review all submissions and will respond if we plan to move forward with your pitch.

2.  Give an interview for our podcast series, Brave Young Voices
3.  Learn more about people around your age in different parts of the world: their stories, struggles perspectives, creative work and experiences. We are working to develop new ways to learn from and support one another. 
4. Connect with the world’s largest association of writers and it's new Young Writers Committiee. Join PEN's international network for free expression from a local community. If interested, fill in this form and we can support and follow up your request to join one of 90 PEN centres in different countries.If your country is not currently represented, you may be eligible to join another.
5. Attend online and in person events and workshops to connect with a wider community.  We collaborate with various partners to platform young voices, including local and international organisations, book fairs and forums to share and expand our spaces.

       6. Alert us to young people speaking up and facing risks against their right to free expression.We can explore safe ways to support them such as writing solidarity letters and compiling to amplify their cases as “Empty Chairs”
