Our Editorial Board considers all work carefully, but can only inform you if your submission is accepted for publication. Please also note that if you want a copy, you should keep one at home, because originals will not be returned. If your submission is accepted for publication, the Editorial Board will suggest edits. Working with the Editorial Board to refine your submission can be a lot of fun, and is a part of the creative collaboration which makes each issue of KidSpirit Magazine, and the KidSpirit community, so great. Enjoy the process!
