Our young authors know that beauty is complex, that it lies in the delightful weirdness of our imaginations and in the fierce love we have for our community. In their strangeness, sweetness, spookiness, and spunk, these stories reveal the range of emotions we can express as writers and experience as readers. So, whether covered with goosebumps or calling your mom to tell her you love her, you will be moved by the words in these pages.

826 Valencia is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting under-resourced students ages six to eighteen with their creative and expository writing skills and to helping teachers inspire their students to write. Our services are structured around the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success.
