After two seasons of Little Reader, we are back with a new initiative for the little writers and readers. Outset Kids’ Anthology is an initiative to feature the little writers.
Outset Books Kids’ Anthology
We are inviting entries from kids of age 7-15 years. They can write about anything under the theme “My Dream”. It is not just about your dream of what you want to become when you grow up, I can also be a fantasy that you imagined. In the nutshell it can be a daydream or an imagination too…
Word count
The ideal word count of the short story can be 2000 words. We are not strict about the word count if the writing quality is good but try to keep the word count under this.
For poems, the word count would be up to 200 words and not more.
Submission
Send the entries in Microsoft word format (.doc /.docx) to outsetbooks@gmail.com.
The last date to submit the manuscript is 15-08-2023
Selection process
You will get an email if your entry is selected. There is a panel of people who would scrutinize your child’s work.
Format of the book
Once your entry is selected we will be editing the work and the collated works would be published as an ebook.
You will get a pdf copy of the book and also a certificate. Your child will be featured in our blog as well as social media platforms.
This is truly a good initiative for budding writers. I'm gonna have my daughter try this and submit her entry. Thanks for letting know

Well as you know my baby is too small to be part of this anthology but he will for sure in the coming years for your anthology. But I will make sure to spread the news among my friends who kids wish to be a part of this anthology. All the best dear.
This is such a wonderful opportunity for young writers to showcase their talent and skills. I have never read a book writer by such small kids, I wonder how innocent and imaginative their stories would be. Kudos to you for coming up with this brilliant idea of kids anthology.
