Does any body know any publishing companies who publish YAYA(young adults writing for young adults)?

I had found a company, but I lost the website.Does any body know any publishing companies who publish YAYA(young adults writing for young adults)?
No, and if you have found a company then run as far as you can because it's most likely nothing more than a scam. There aren't any legit presses that only publish young writers. It's not lucrative since most young writers can't write at the professional level needed for publishing. If you've written something that you want to get published then you have to send it in to the publishers that everyone else uses and your writing needs to be comparable to the books you find on bookstore shelves if you ever want to be published.



Do your research into publishing because if you walk into it being unknowledgeable about it then you're going to be taken advantage of.



ADDING: Yeah, that still sounds weird, Meredith. Can you be explicit about what kind of "publisher" it was? Is it something like Worthy of Publishing where you publish your work on the site for everyone to read or is it a real publisher that sells your book and is supposed to get it into bookstores and make you a profit? There's a difference and I need to know what you mean by "publisher."Does any body know any publishing companies who publish YAYA(young adults writing for young adults)?
Yes, what Joss said. No legitimate publishing company does what you describe.



"It wasn't only publishing YAYA. It was one of the genres you could enter you book under just like Historical Fiction or Horror or Young Adult."



Doesn't matter. Still sounds like a scam. The very fact that you enter the genre of your book on the website tells me immediately that that is not a proper publishing company. Legitimate publishing companies don't take submissions in that manner.Does any body know any publishing companies who publish YAYA(young adults writing for young adults)?
Check out the book Writer's Market for legitimate places.
