Inklings Book 2021 — Naomi Kinsman

Inside these pages you will find magical nights, a mischievous elf, an alien queen, dragons, mystery, and most of all, inspiring words filled with courage, hope, and resilience. Society of Young Inklings' thirteenth annual Inklings Book anthology features stories and poems by youth authors in grades three through nine. Each piece is paired with a letter from the youth's author-mentor who guided them through a personalized revision, plus an interview about the experience. The result is a literary feast-part celebration of spectacular writers and their powerful voices, part practical revision guide. Whether you're looking for a thumping good read, inspiration for your own writing, or both, you've stumbled across the just-right book.Youth authors featured in this collection: Hera AgirbiceanCecilia AppelRianne ChenJennylee DilneyMolly FeltLindsay GaoNithya KarambakkamThee Sim LingAisha Rae McCullochAaminah MemonDanica RicheyMadeline SornsonPaloma StrutzRahul SundaresanSofia SusalJade Amelia TysorAudrianna VanHeuvelenJames WangAllison XuDaniel ZhuMentor-authors featured in this collection: Sarah AllenJodi Anderson-WolhaupterKerry AradhyaDevorah BermanEimile BriggsJohanna BuchMalar GanapathiappanMelanie Heuiser HillAvalon Felice LeeCelina McManusHelen PyneKristi RomoBeth SpencewoodElizabeth VerdickAshley WalkerKristi WrightProceeds from sales of this book support the free-to-all annual Inklings Book Contest, in which all youth applicants receive personalized, encouraging feedback on their work.
