Guidance for Young Authors

Personalized consultation for families exploring writing, publishing, and creative development for young authors. 

Give your child the joy, confidence, and pride of becoming a published author through a nurturing, creative experience designed just for young writers.

At Think Ahead Kids, we publish real stories written by kids under 18. We handle the editing, illustration, and publishing and we do it because we believe kids' voices deserve to be heard.

Whether your child is just beginning their storytelling journey or already has a finished draft, we're here to guide the next step.

Think Ahead Kids supports young writers through creative writing opportunities, publishing guidance, and individualized consultation.

Some families connect with us through writing camps and group programs, while others begin with one-on-one support to explore how their child’s story can move toward publication.

If your child has an idea, a draft, or a finished story, personalized publishing consultations are available to help you understand the next steps.

We offer personalized publishing consultations for families who want guidance whether or not they are part of a writing camp or group program.

In a 30-minute session, we’ll walk through your child’s story idea, discuss what publishing can look like, and help you understand the next steps — whether independently or with Think Ahead Kids support.

Ideal for:

• Parents who aren’t sure where to begin
• Young writers excited about their story
• Families considering publishing but feeling overwhelmed
