Welcome to WriteForKids!

I’ve got three friends who are excited to meet you!


Mitty, Lilypad and Skylar are happy to show you around and point you toward what you need, no matter where you are in your writing journey.

With WriteForKids on my side, I went from being unpublished straight to the bestseller list! If you dream of writing for children or teens, this is the place for you.
