We're a group of (mostly) MG authors--we're also, occasionally, teachers and librarians working in the elementary / kid-lit field--discussing the writing life and the MG genre.

Every month, our regular contributors write pieces on a single theme or idea.

Throughout 2026, we're writing on the superhero qualities our readers already have. In July, that quality is humor.

Smack Dab in the Imagination

Dia Calhoun is running this exciting series on the imagination; check out a new post each month on the 23rd!
