Young Christian Writers

Young Christian Writers magazine features short stories, articles, book-reviews, poems and other creative work by Christian students ages 12-18.

Our vision is to inspire teens to honor God with their creative writing.

We publish work written from a Biblical world view that is original, interesting, encouraging and/or entertaining without being preachy or devotional. We accept some history and science themes. We do not accept writing with morose topics or teenage boyfriend/girlfriend themes.

See our Writer's Guidelines to find step-by-step instructions about how to send us your written work.

Take a look at our Writing Tools for tips and lessons to help get you started or to improve your writing skills.

"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." (1 Peter 3:15, NIV)
