Publishing for Kids: Magazines That Publish Children's Writings and Artwork
Are you a kid who dreams of being a published author, or who wants to see your artwork get published? A great way to start is to try to get published in a magazine for kids. All of the magazines below will publish kids' writings or artwork, but only some of them pay. However, being published at all is a great honor as it is highly competitive, especially for well known kids magazines such as Highlights. Be sure to read the submission guidelines for each magazine to see exactly what they are looking for. If you haven't ever heard of the magazine, ask your local library if they have any copies of whatever magazine you want to submit to. Then read some of the articles, poetry, or stories to see examples of what the magazine likes to publish. Good luck!
