If you’re a kid who loves to write, you’re in luck! There’s a brand new magazine out that specializes in publishing writing and illustrations by kids.
Launch Pad: Where Young Authors and Illustrators Take Off! is a new print magazine devoted to publishing fiction, nonfiction, poetry, book reviews, and artwork by children ages 6-12. We do not charge teachers, children, or their parents any sort of publication fee.
The magazine offers children a wonderful opportunity to get published!
Children do not have to pay to submit, and we do not charge any sort of publication fee for works that get accepted. Successful contributors receive a free one-year subscription, three additional copies of the issue containing their work (also free) to share with family and friends, a free T-shirt, and a free bookmark. We also send a letter (free of charge, of course) of commendation to their school principal, favorite teacher, or other individual. At present, we do not pay successful contributors.

Hi Marsha,
Thanks for the information – I’m going to follow the link to look into a subscription for my daughter, I’m sure she’ll love it.

Re: Kids Publishing!
Hope your daughter enjoys it, Merry. Looks like a great magazine.
Thanks, Marsha,
I sent this off to my 11 year old twin nephews.
My mom recently read my WIP ‘Mason and the Eco-n.a.u.t.s’ to them and they quickly took over, alternating reading the chapters aloud only stopping long enough to wolf down dinner. They are not big readers, so you can imagine this is exciting for me.
One of them has taken on writing and illustrating his own book since then, so this might interest him.
Merci!
Helene
That’s neat, Helene! The magazine is fairly new, so get them to submit before word spreads.
