Welcome, parents of young adventurers!
Thanks for swinging by. We're constructing a great kid's site to encourage young writers, and we invite you to surf around.
Here's the skinny on AdventureWrite.com/kids.
1. What exactly is on AdventureWrite.com/kids?
A
Short Writing Tutorial:
Totem Head, our Kid's Page sentry, hosts a fun, 10-step tutorial on writing an adventure story.
A
Kid's Writing Contest:
We invite anyone under 19 years old to enter our free writing contest. There's a $50 prize, and the winner's story gets published on AdventureWrite.com/kids. Entrants under 18 must have their parent's permission to enter.
Why are we doing this? Contests with real prizes encourage young writers. There are tons of contests, prizes and recognition for young athletes, artists and musicians; but there isn't so much out there for young writers. We're doing our part to inspire the next generation of adventure writers!
The Treehouse:
Currently under construction, the Treehouse is an online clubhouse. No registration necessary here!
It's not easy to get into the Treehouse. Kids will have to do a little research to enter. (A secret knock is required, of course!) If a visitor chooses the wrong secret knock, AdventureWrite.com/kids will reroute the "unauthorized visitor" to a different website. Rerouted visitors end up at one of the following websites:
The IRS
A National Debt Clock
A blank page
Once inside The Treehouse, visitors can:
- Contribute to a
collaborative story.
- Put a journal entry into a
Virtual Time Capsule.
A
Collection of Kid's Stories:
We're assembling adventure stories for our kid's page. Some of the stories are written by kids, and some are kid-friendly stories written by adults. If you or your child has written a kid's story and want to post it at AdventureWrite.com/kids, shoot us a line. While we can't garauntee we'll publish your work, we welcome your submissions!
Email us at:
admin@adventurewrite.com.
2. Information we collect through AdventureWrite.com/kids
We collect non-personally identifiable information through our kid's site. We also provide 2 online forms, which visitors may use to contribute to the "Add-To-The-Story" webpage or submit a journal entry into a Virtual Time Capsule. The visitor may include their name and/or hometown with their submission. This information may, at the visitor's discretion, be personally identifiable.
Please see our
Privacy Policy for more information.
3. Why bother with a Kid's Page?
Adventure Write is committed to encouraging young adventurers and writers. We created AdventureWrite.com/kids to recognize young writers, to provide a safe and fun venue for kids to display their work online and to publish kid-friendly adventure stories.
