About the iWRITER Magazine
Managed by the iWRITE Youth Club, iWRITER is a magazine written, designed, and published by kids for kids. iWRITER Magazine gives young people an opportunity to share their feelings and perspective with others. The 16-page quarterly magazine focuses on themes that interest young people. Each columnist (10-18 years old) writes personal and informational articles, fiction, non-fiction stories, and poetry dedicated to each issue’s topic and theme. The first digital magazine was released in May 2020 and focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, which changed every student’s life.
Students from all over the world are invited to apply to write for the iWRITER. Meetings are held virtually. Contact Eshaan at eshaan.mani@kinkaid.org to learn more.

In September 2020, the iWRITER team reflected on the past summer of turbulence and unrest, and we decided to theme the second issue around acceptance. This was our first issue with student-submitted cover art, as well as the first issue with student columnists from outside of the iWRITE Youth Club and the Houston area: Lexi from Ohio and Vedant from Michigan. Op-eds were new this edition, too!
Issue 9 is all about the beauty of the summer season! This issue has some incredible poetry and community features.
It all began with an idea. In May 2020, the Youth Club decided to create a magazine by kids for kids, with the theme that loomed over our lives at the time: the pandemic. We put together the magazine on a web-based platform with a small team of editors doing double-duty, as design and copy editors. It was a unique journey to embark upon and we look forward to putting together more issues in the future!
