How do I expand this narrative arc? Do you attend a high school where you’re one of a small number of poets?

Think about starting an online poetry journal at your school. You can expand it throughout your region, or you can market it and solicit submissions from all over the country or the world. There are minimal barriers to entry, and the only cost is your time and focus. But for a poet like you, the payoff could be huge.

If you are writing poetry, you should be submitting it to one of the many poetry competitions and journals aimed at teens. See our posts about getting poetry published in Teen Sequin , Elan Literary Magazine and more.

HOT TIP: It’s tough for a teen poet to get noticed on more than a very small stage. Taking a leadership role and starting Poetry Slam or a poetry journal are impressive achievements that would go far in college admissions.
