Here are several more links:
Publications that Publish Student Writing, Poetry, and Art
Stone Soup: the magazine by young writers and artists is unique among children’s magazines — it’s the only magazine made up entirely of the creative work of children. Young people from all over the world contribute their stories, poems, book reviews, and art work to Stone Soup. At first, it’s hard to believe 8- to 13-year-olds can create such engrossing stories, evocative poems, and gorgeous illustrations. But as regular readers of Stone Soup know — they can! [I have used Stone Soup and it’s one of the very best. You and your students will be inspired and moved by their published authors and artists.]
Merlyn’s Pen: Fiction, Essays, and Poems by America’s Teens is perhaps the oldest of all publishers devoted exclusively to teens in grades 6-12. [Merlyn's Pen, Inc. is in the process of reorganizing as a nonprofit foundation: the Merlyn’s Pen Foundation. Their mission is to build a vast and friendly library of the great works by teens written in the last twenty years. The library, open all day and night, and free to teachers, librarians, kids, and anyone interested in the lives of teens, will never close. It is online, which means it’s on every teacher’s desk, on every young writer's laptop.
Works at their library will often be beautifully illustrated, appearing exactly as they did when first printed in Merlyn’s Pen magazine. Even the design and typography of the poems has been reworked for viewing online and printing out at home. But best of all, any teacher anywhere can use the powerful search index to find exactly the right piece for her purposes: teachers in New York can locate in mere seconds 50 poems by top New York student writers. A seventh grade teacher attempting to teach the difficult art of character development in fiction, can locate—in the time it takes to take a sip of coffee—25 stories noted for their exquisite character development, and all written by seventh graders just like her own!]
Skipping Stones is a nonprofit children’s magazine that encourages cooperation, creativity and celebration of cultural and environmental richness. Skipping Stones is an award-winning resource in multicultural education. Skipping Stones publishes bimonthly during the school year, which accepts art and original writings in every language and from all ages. Its staff invites you to participate in this exciting project with your submissions, subscriptions, suggestions and support. Non-English writings are accompanied by English translations to encourage the learning of other languages. Each issue also contains international pen pals, book reviews, news, and a guide for parents and teachers. The guide offers creative activities and resources for making best use of Skipping Stones in your home or classroom. [This is a truly an essential reader for teachers looking outward and wanting to open their students to the world and its many cultures. The student samples on the site are first-rate, must reads to be shared with students.]
