*Below, you will find a list of resources to assist students who wish to publish their own work:

*Stone Soup: the magazine by young writers and artists is unique among children’s magazines — it’s the only magazine made up entirely of the creative work of children. Young people from all over the world contribute their stories, poems, book reviews, and art work to Stone Soup. At first, it’s hard to believe 8- to 13-year-olds can create such engrossing stories, evocative poems, and gorgeous illustrations. But as regular readers of Stone Soup know — they can! http://www.stonesoup.com/

*Merlyn’s Pen: Fiction, Essays, and Poems by America’s Teens is perhaps the oldest of all publishers devoted exclusively to teens in grades 6-12. http://www.merlynspen.org/

Skipping Stones publishes bimonthly during the school year, which accepts art and original writings in every language and from all ages.

The guide offers creative activities and resources for making best use of Skipping Stones in your home or classroom. http://www.skippingstones.org/
