Christian Writers Submission Information

SPIDER®, a literary magazine for children, features fresh and engaging literature, poems, articles, and activities for newly independent readers. Editors seek energetic, beautifully crafted submissions with strong “kid appeal” (an elusive yet recognizable quality, often tied to high-interest elements such as humor, adventure, and suspense).

SPIDER (for ages 6 to 9) seeks word games, language activities, riddles, puzzles, and more. Games and activities should be 1-2 pages long and appropriate for our newly independent readers. Try a new twist on a crosswords, riddles, hidden words, and secret codes. Foreign languages welcome. Think outside the box of what you might find in the classroom. We are also looking for poems and stories that incorporate wordplay, puns, and riddles, or otherwise play with the endless possibilities of language and meaning.

SPIDER (for ages 6 to 9) is looking for stories, poems, nonfiction, and activities on the theme of movement and activity, from the great outdoors to the basketball court behind school. We’re interested in the excitement, challenge, and joy of getting up, out, and moving! This could mean sports, dancing, walking in the woods, or riding your bike around the block. We want to see diverse, modern kids engaged in group play, solo activities, family trips, and games with friends. Of course, we all like to go outside, but sometimes you end up stuck indoors on a rainy day—or stuck in gym class!
