About
A quarterly journal that publishes outstanding history research essays written by secondary school students — one of the only publications of its kind. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis and remain eligible for the next three issues; published authors are also considered for the Emerson Prize. Essays run roughly 5,000–10,000 words on any historical topic, with Chicago-style endnotes. Cost: $90 essay submission fee, which includes a one-year eBook subscription to the journal ($120 with a U.S. print subscription, or $150 with an international print subscription).
Who can apply
Students in grades 9–12.
Open to secondary school students worldwide; the essay must be completed before finishing secondary school and be the student's sole, original work. Acceptance is highly selective (roughly 5% of submissions are published).
