Story Pirates is Not a Contest

The Story Pirates believe that every child has a story to tell. That's why we don't pick "winners" and "losers." Any child who submits a story can see it performed by the Story Pirates during one of our weekly Saturday matinees, either in Midtown, Manhattan at the Drama Book Shop, or in Los Angeles, California at our space in Westwood. We debut several new stories in our show each week, though we are often booked several weeks or even months in advance, so submit your child's story today!

Stories can be any length and about any topic. We have only two rules with regard to new stories:
1) They must be entirely original (no stories about Star Wars or Hannah Montana).
2) Stories must be written entirely by kids. Adults should not co-write, edit, or even correct their children's stories. They should be submitted in the kid's own syntax, exactly as written or dictated to a adult.

Please be sure to include:
     1) Your child's name
     2) His or her grade level
     3) The name of your child's school
     4) Your name (or the name of the child's parents)
     5) Contact information, including a home or cell phone number and email address

We prefer stories to be emailed as text in the body of an email, though they may also be submitted as scanned attachments to: stories@storypirates.org.

They may also be mailed to:
