About the Publisher:
Stone Soup is the literary magazine and website 100% written and illustrated by kids through age 13. Now in its 47th year, Stone Soup has been inspiring children to read, write and create their own artworks for publication in our magazine since 1973.

Art Submission Info:
A long time ago, when Stone Soup was first founded, we didn’t commission illustrations. Instead, we published pieces of art that excited us—regardless of their connection to a specific story! We have recently decided to return to this practice. This means, we are no longer commissioning illustrations for the magazine. From now on, we will be accepting standalone art—drawing, paintings, photographs, collages as well as images of sculpture, diorama, ceramics, etc.—that we simply love and want to share with all of our readers. Your art will be featured in a special “art” section of our new digital magazine. In addition, we might also choose to pair it with a story or a poem, in which case it would be featured in two places in the issue. Please consider submitting your best pieces of art to the magazine.
