BLUE SAGE MAGAZINE

Welcome to Blue Sage Magazine, an online youth literary magazine dedicated to elevating the voices of young writers and artists! We publish work from students in grades 3-6.

We are currently CLOSED for submissions. We will likely open for Issue 7 submissions in mid- to late September, so please check back then!

OUR MISSION

At Blue Sage Magazine, we firmly believe in promoting diversity, unique perspectives, and self-expression through the mediums of art and writing. We believe that, in the pursuit of this goal, young kids cannot be overlooked, as they are the future of creative expression and deserve a space to share. However, we’ve observed a lack of support and accessible opportunities for them to do so. We hope to fill this gap! We are committed to providing a warm, welcoming, and safe platform that empowers kids to express themselves freely, gain confidence in their abilities, improve their craft, and develop their artistic voice. To further this purpose, each writing submission will receive detailed personal feedback to guide the author toward sharpening their skills and amplifying their voice.

What our Writers & Artists Say About Us

"What I enjoyed about the feedback that they gave me was that it was, one, not only helpful, but it was good and every piece of feedback they gave I agreed with and made sure to add to my piece. They were so encouraging and thoughtful and added a good mix of feedback and parts of the story that they liked. I really enjoyed reading what a second person had to say about my piece."
