Our science, social studies, and discovery magazines seek writers with subject expertise. Those interested in writing for these magazines should submit a resume and several writing samples. Click on each magazine to view the individual editor’s specific submission guidelines.
Children of all ages can submit stories, poetry, essays, and art to contests that run in our magazines. Our magazines do not accept general submissions from children under the age of 18. Many magazines do publish student work. See listings at the NewPages.com Young Authors Guide .

Writing





There are more and more magazines that feature writing and art by kids and teens, both online and in print. This is a great way to encourage reluctant writers and to give enthusiastic writers and artists a place to spotlight their creativity.
Here are 18 magazines that publish children’s writing and art:
Note that payment varies widely. In some cases, payment is in copies of the magazine or simply being published, while others offer cash. For many kids, the biggest reward is simply seeing their writing in print.
Competition tends to be high, especially with better known publications. Be sure to remind kids that many famous authors were rejected dozens or hundreds of times before they were published. The act of submitting art and writing can be a lesson in perseverance more than anything else, but that can make it even more satisfying when publishers say yes.
Also let children know that one of the best ways to improve writing is to read writing by others. The best way to keep magazines like these around is to support them, too. Many of these magazines make great gifts as well.

Studies show that kids who read for pleasure do overwhelmingly better in life than kids who don’t. At U.S. Kids Magazines ( Humpty Dumpty and Jack and Jill ), providing fun, entertaining reading material is our priority. We accept humorous, playful, and witty stories that kids would love to read—not stories that grownups think kids should read.
As part of the Children’s Better Health Institute, we are always in need of high-quality stories, articles, and activities with a broad health and fitness focus. Please keep in mind that we would rather show kids living a healthy lifestyle than dictate a healthy lifestyle to our readers. In other words, health topics should be incorporated into the story or article, not be the focus of it.
If you have a story that fits with the general philosophies of U.S. Kids Magazines, please review the following submission guidelines:
1. Writers should present their material in a way that is appropriate for kids and does not talk down to them.
2. For independent readers (some of the kids who read Humpty Dumpty and all of the kids who read Jack and Jill ), the material should start at a basic level but include a sprinkling of more advanced information.
4. Stories should appeal to a broad audience. Our subscribers are girls and boys located across the United States and beyond.
5. If you are writing a story but have not been around kids in awhile, please make sure your dialogue and characters are up to date. We are looking for stories that appeal to today’s children.
6. Writing for children has the same standards as writing for adults. The rules of good story construction and character development still apply. Make sure you are familiar with quality children’s literature and current market trends before submitting.
7. Seasonal material should be sent at least 8 months in advance.
8. Careful study of current issues will acquaint writers with each magazine’s personality and also familiarize writers with what has already been published. Sample copy requests can be made by writing to U.S. Kids, PO Box 88928, Indianapolis, IN 46208 or by emailing editors@uskidsmags.com.
9. If you have not heard from us within ninety days, please assume that we will not be able to publish your manuscript. Submissions sent by regular mail will not be returned, so please do not send original copies of your work.
10. Submit specifically to one of our two magazines– Humpty Dumpty or Jack and Jill –not U.S. Kids.
MANUSCRIPT FORMAT
Manuscripts must be typewritten and double-spaced. The author’s name, address, phone number, email address, date of submission, and word count should appear on the first page of the manuscript. If you include a cover letter, please keep it brief. Cover letters are not required.
Mail or email entire manuscript. (See email addresses at bottom of page.) Work is on speculation only. Queries are not accepted except for nonfiction pieces submitted to Jack and Jill magazine. Keep a copy of your work. Submissions sent by regular mail will not be returned, so please do not send original copies of your work.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Please do not send artwork. We prefer to work with professional illustrators of our own choosing.
PHOTOS
We do not purchase single photos. We do purchase short photo features (up to 8 or 10 images) or high-quality photos that accompany articles and illustrate editorial material. Digital format is best with high resolution (300 dpi in an image size of at least 4×6 inches). We purchase one-time rights to photos but reserve the right to use the images on our websites. Please include captions and signed model releases.
REVIEW TIME
Please allow about three months for a response. Do not send status inquiries before that time. Your submission may be considered for the other U.S. Kids magazines depending on content.
RIGHTS
We purchase all rights including web use and pay on publication. Simultaneous submission are allowed but should be noted as such. One-time book rights may be returned when the author has found a publisher and can provide an approximate date of publication.
FICTION : Short stories 450 words or less. Payment: $30 and up.
BUILD-A-BOOK : We are accepting short mini-stories of 70-125 words. These should be positive and light-hearted; often humorous. Characters can be children or animals. We welcome material that deals with kindness, love, good manners, friendship, holidays, and seasons.
POETRY : We accept poems 4-12 line poems. Please remember the age of your audience. Payment: $25 and up.
CRAFTS : We accept fun crafts of 250 words or less that young children can make with a bit of adult help. Crafts can celebrate holidays or seasons. Materials should be inexpensive and easy to obtain. Include easy-to-understand steps and directions and, if possible, include a photo of the finished craft. Payment: $40 and up.
FICTION : We accept full manuscripts of 600-800 words. The tone of the stories should be fun and engaging. Stories should hook readers right from the get-go and pull them through the story. Humor is very important! Dialogue should be witty instead of just furthering the plot. The story should convey some kind of positive message. Possible themes could include self-reliance, being kind to others, appreciating other cultures, and so on. There are a million positive messages, so get creative! Kids can see preachy coming from a mile away, though, so please focus on telling a good story over teaching a lesson. The message—if there is one—should come organically from the story and not feel tacked on. Payment: $25 and up.
NONFICTION : We accept nonfiction manuscripts of 700 words or less. We are especially interested in features or Q&As with regular kids (or groups of kids) in the Jack and Jill age group who are engaged in unusual, challenging, or interesting activities. No celebrity pieces please. Payment: $25 and up.
