Hey Gang, I had to start someplace. I'm Dave.
I'm a publisher who wants to encourage kids to become authors. Real authors. I love hearing what kids have to say. I think a lot of other people in the world do too.
I'll be writing here regularly on the topic. I've put my money where my mouth is. I built a site devoted to incubating young writers, artists, musicians, inventors, and videographers. My team and I work with kids to develop their works into marketable products, and provide and entire support system to help them get their works into the market place.
Recently, my daughter Hannah used my plan to raise nearly $5000.00 to go with her choir to Australia and sing at the Sydney Opera House! She had a plan, followed it, and in less than 8 months had all the money she needed!
You can do it too. I'm here to motivate you along. Adults can chime in too.
Sincerely,
Dave Van Horn

A few years back I started a company http://www.kidbookink.com to combine all the things I love to do. Work with kids, create new products, coach, mentor, and best of all, spend as much time with my own kids as possible.
KidBookInk Publishing came about. This blog is to talk about Kids who are doing a lot of writing, who also want to get their work into the market.
We aren't talking about these silly Literary places where you submit your stuff, and some god like adult looks down their nose at your work, with a 'sniff' deems it "Wuuuuthy" of publishing or not....
We're talkin', "Hey, I like to write, I have something to say, and I want to let the marketplace decide if I'm worthy or not!"
Writing has other uses too. It can be used to heal. Many of my authors are kids who are troubled. Whether it be young kids at risk, incarcerated, or kids who just find life piling up on them, writing is an excellent way to begin, or maintain the healing process.
That's a KidBookInk kid.

Great site! Lots of information. Looks like a great place for kids to come who have something they want to sell. Going to go back over it and see how it really works. Does it really work? Alan
Hey..........my name is Joni. I'm the other co-founder of KidBookInk.
Like to know what you guys think of the site. Looking for kids who
are looking for a place to create
writings, artwork, music or videos.
Bring it on.............. we'll help you find a way to sell it!! Write in, let us know what you're thinking. Joni
Al,
It works great.
Questions? dave@kidbookink.com
Our process is easy and straight forward. We encourage the family to participate together.
With two simple building blocks, coaching, and mentoring, success comes along quickly.
Whether to sell, or be recognized, the goal is to do what most people never do, get their work out there.
We're always waiting for permission from some one else, instead of giving ourself permission to do what we believe in. Peace dbvh

Hey,
My name is Kyla I am almost fourteen and my eleven year old sister, Sammi, and I just LOVE to write. We used to write little stories but recently, we both began on out first chapter books. We read each other our stories and we think they are really good. We have been trying to find a way to get them published once we are done, but no publishers want to work with tweens and teens. Anything you have that can help us with our goal to get published? Any help is good!
Thank you,
Kyla and Sammi
