Description
Adventure Awaits!
Step onto a winding path where imagination leads the way. As you stroll through the pages of this seventeenth annual Inklings Book anthology, you’ll encounter daring stories, thought-provoking poems, and one-of-a-kind voices that will stay with you long after the journey ends.
The Inklings Book 2025 features work by youth authors in 3rd–8th grade, chosen from submissions to this year’s Inklings Book Contest. Each piece stands out for its originality, its craft, and its ability to transport readers into new worlds and perspectives. Once selected, each author worked side-by-side with a published author-mentor, revising their piece and reflecting on their creative process in an interview.
The result is an inspiring collection that celebrates the courage and creativity of young writers. Whether you’re seeking a fresh adventure, encouragement for your own writing trail, or both—you’ve found your guidebook here.
