Kids in Print
Showcasing the talents of young people across the Midlands for more than 20 years.
Created by Richland Library, Kids in Print is a literary magazine that features poetry, stories, short plays, essays, drawings, photographs and more created by Midlands-area children and teens ages 6-18.
While we look for a variety of creative work that is original, well-crafted and contributes to the overall magazine, we are unable to publish every submission. Kids in Print is not a competition. Whether they are published or not, we are proud of every contributor for having the bravery to express themselves.

Our staff received more than 220 submissions for the 28th edition of Kids in Print. A complete list of the more than 50 featured young authors and artists selected for the 2023 publication can be found, here.
