Sail through Imaginative Skies

Inklings Book 2024

Savor the innovative, thought-provoking, page-turning stories and beautifully crafted poems in this book, our sixteenth annual Inklings Book anthology.

The Inklings Book 2024 includes stories and poems by eighteen youth authors in 3rd-8th grade. These pieces, chosen from submissions to this year’s Inklings Book Contest, were selected for their originality, their literary flair, and above all, because of the way they showcase each author’s unique voice.

Once selected for publication, each of the featured youth authors worked with an author-mentor who guided them through a personalized revision, plus an interview about their experience. The result is this inspiring anthology that celebrates youth voices and the craft of creative writing.

Whether you’re looking for an excellent read, inspiration for your own writing, or both, you’ve found the just-right book.
