Starspun Lit is a literary platform dedicated to providing fantasy stories to the youth. Split into three age categories, Starspun Lit shares monthly stories for youth ages 6-9 years, 10-13 years, and 14-16 years (or more broadly, young adult).
Our mission is to provide fantastical stories to the youth of today and improve children's literacy and comprehension of the larger world through our digital platform.
Our stories are also designed as a therapeutic tool for children with medical needs, including those with neurodevelopmental disorders so they may soar beyond reality. We are partnering with various hospitals and clinics to organize read-alouds so we may brighten their days with the magic of your storytelling.
We also provide opportunities for authors and artists to enhance their craft by providing feedback, publishing informative articles, and hosting workshops.
If your story is featured on our website and we host a read-aloud near you, we would love to have you join and narrate your own work!

Starspun Lit is run by volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering as a slush reader, keep a look out for our slush reader call. Writers and artists, please check out the respective pages for how you can contribute.
Hi! I'm the founder of Starspun Lit. I've been an avid reader and writer since forever, and I'm proud to announce that fantasy runs deep in my veins. I am so excited to be able to share my love of all things magical with other kids, and I hope the stories here allow them to fall just a little bit deeper into the land of whimsy!

Hi! I am happy to share my illustrations in Starspun Lit. I've always loved drawing, specifically surreal worlds, so I am excited to show you my work! Hopefully my illustrations help you imagine these fantastical stories.
