Did you know that FaithWriters has a completely separate website that’s geared towards kids ages 7-14? It’s true! We have created a safe place where kids can go to stretch their writing wings, as well as interact with other young aspiring writers. If you have a child who expresses an interest in writing, point them in the direction of FaithWriters for Kids!
FaithWriters for kids offers some of the same wonderful features as FaithWriters.com. Here are just a few things kid can do:
- Share their writing. Articles, stories, poems…whatever kids choose to write about. Once their work is posted to the site, it is available for anyone to read.
- Give and receive feedback. Just as with FaithWriters.com, kids are able to leave feedback on writings posted and get feedback on their own work. While detailed comments are not allowed, the feedback comes through fun smiley faces and emoticons that express how the reader feels about a piece.
- Submit to The Weekly Topic. Similar to the FaithWriters Weekly Writing Challenge, kids have a Weekly Topic, to which they can submit. This allows them to focus their creativity in a fun and challenging way. For example, this week’s topic is: Clothes: What would happen if everyone wore the same clothes?
Kids can post and search for writings by age group (7-8; 9-10; 11-12; 13-14) or by the following categories:
- My Stories
- My Poems
- My Joke & Riddles
- About Me
- About my Pets
- About Life
- About God
- Weekly Topic
Kids who sign up are encouraged to get a parent’s or guardian’s permission and content is regularly monitored. So grab your kiddo and check out FaithWriters for Kids today. We’re thrilled to do a small part in raising up tomorrow’s great Christian writers!

ahhh, this I did not know! Hmmm, I need to kidnap my nine year old niece and get her set up…she’s already working on her first stories 🙂 Talk about “melt your heart” 😀
I sent my 8 year old grandson the link for the Kids site. He has enjoyed reading my Challengs stories, so he jumped right in. He submitted his first story yesterday!
Such a coincidence… I posted about this on the FaithWriters Forum late yesterday, without realizing it was the blog topic! I hadn’t made it to the FW blog yet, but I know about it now.
My seven-year-old son is really enjoying the site. Kathie, if you’ll tell me your grandson’s user name, I’ll make sure my son finds his stories. He LOVES to leave comments! There are fewer kids in the 7-8 category, so I hope that more of them will start participating now.
Carol,
My grandson’s user name is devyn porter. He is busy as a bee on the website, loving every minute!
