Fanciful Stories and Poems by Eighteen Youth Authors
Inklings Book 2018
Embrace imagination in eighteen fanciful stories and poems by passionate young authors.
This tenth-anniversary edition of the annual Inklings Book anthology features work by young writers in grades three through nine. Covering subjects from heartache to gnome safety, each piece is a daydream an Inkling brought into reality—with the help of grown-up author-mentors guiding revisions! Part storybook, part teaching tool, Inklings Book 2018 can both inspire and guide your literary flights of fancy.
The Inklings Book 2018 is the result of this year’s Inklings Book Contest. Youth writers from around the world submitted stories and poems to be considered, and 18 youth writers were chosen to be featured in the book. Each youth author worked with a mentor to revise their winning pieces, and the results are here for your reading delight! The stories and poems are complemented by interviews with each author, along with a letter from their insightful mentors about the revision process.
Along with being a thumping good read, the book is stuffed full of writing craft insight and practical strategies that you can try in your own writing.
