How long did it take for the first 'I'm bored'? 5 minutes after screentime ended if they're like mine! 😄 Get them to write a line starting with each letter of 'winter' - voila! They've written an acrostic poem! Enter it into Winter Wonderland. tinyurl.com/yeyprmsw

We are now closed for the holidays. Lines will reopen on Dec 29 at 1pm EST. We hope the holiday brings you peace and joy, in whatever form you need it.

Merry Christmas!

There's only one thing I want to know... How many books did you get? Which one are you going to read first? Show us your book hauls in the comments. MMM fresh books.

We are now closed for the New Year holiday. Lines will reopen at 1pm EST on Jan 2, 2026!

Happy New Year!

Ah, the return of school comes round so fast. We're here for all your English planning needs! youngwritersusa.com/contest

New Year = New Contests! GO GO GO!

If you've returned to school and realised your entries from last semester didn't make it to us, send them in this week and we'll squeeze them in!

Get your students writing with Monster Mini Tales! They'll love designing a creature, then writing a short story about what it gets up to! It allows them to have fun and let their imaginations run wild! youngwritersusa.com/contest/monster

There's nothing like a mystery to get imaginations firing... youngwritersusa.com/contest/unsolv…

There's no better day for your child to write a poem about their dreams for the future. Let's inject some positivity, some hope, and dream of a better future. tinyurl.com/43uj8s8r

Character creation with Monster Mini Tales! youtube.com/watch?v=pCzvE_… #howtowriteastory #teenwriters #writinginspiration
