A children's magazine that showcase diverse characters as the heroes of their own stories!

A youth-led magazine looking for stories, art, and poetry for a children's audience that showcase diverse characters as the heroes of their own stories!

You (yes, you) deserve to be the protagonist—the "main character"—of your own book.

Why do we, and our ancestors before us, love creating stories? Because we want to see where our imagination takes us—it's impossible to experience everything in real life, but we can always live it through stories. That's why we made a promise: Everyone should be a protagonist. Everyone should see someone they relate to represented as the "star" of a story.

Flash fiction meets speculative worlds. Science fiction, fantasy, supernatural, futuristic—anything that transcends reality in very short form.
