For 10 years Shout Mouse Press has published books by young people, and in that decade we've fallen in love with their stories, their honesty, and their courage. Are you a writer like them? If not, we know you could be.
This anthology features standout youth-authored pieces from across our 60+ books-memoir, poetry, fiction, comics, and picture books-that speak with heart and clarity about topics that shape our lives at every stage: family, friendship, identity, justice, belonging, and more.
But this isn't just a greatest-hits collection. Alongside these pieces, you'll find simple writing prompts, fun behind-the-scenes details insights, and insightful conversations with some of our favorite authors that show how rewarding and powerful it is to tell your truth.
Whether you've got a story ready or just a feeling in your gut-we hope this book gives you the spark to begin.
