We’re Creating a Collaborative Community of Children Authors

Do you write fantasy and/or science fiction for children or young adults?

Do want to inspire young people to become joyful lifelong readers by encouraging them to enjoy reading for the pure pleasure it provides?

Would you be interested in having a more direct connection with the parents and kids who would enjoy your stories?

If so, let’s talk.

Hi, my name is Brad Swift, and I write fantasy and science fiction. Much of my time is spent these days writing visionary fiction for children and young adults.

In the summer of 2021, a combination of the COVID epidemic and my personal desire to connect with young readers and parents in a more personal way led my audiobook narrator, Ben Fife, and me to create the Zak Bates Eco-adventure Readup series as live, interactive Zoom-based hours to connect with kids and their parents or guardians. They’ve been so much fun that we now are inviting other children and young adult authors of fantasy and science fiction to join us in our Guest Author Readup Series.

 

Authors like:
