Inklings Book 2023

Readers Beware:
Once you crack open the covers of the Inklings Book and start turning pages, you may not be able to stop until you reach the very end. The stories and poems in this year's anthology include word-play, magic, mystery, and a double-scoop of inspiration and heart.
Welcome to our fifteenth annual Inklings Book anthology! Each year, around the world, youth authors in grades three through nine submit stories and poems for consideration. Once chosen, each youth author is paired with an author-mentor who guides them through a personalized revision, plus an interview about the experience. The result is this eclectic, captivating anthology of stories and poems, showcasing the power of youth voices and the craft of creative writing and revision. Whether you're looking for an excellent read, inspiration for your own writing, or both, you've found the just-right book.
