Snail House Literary

About

We are looking for short stories, poems, comics and artwork by authors and artists aged 15 and under. We are open to all genres, so long as the subject matter is suitable for children and not overly violent or cruel.
We believe art and literature are vital to being well-rounded students, and that snails (as well as humans and other animals) should always be treated with kindness and respect.
