The Kids' Ark is a 24-page, 4-color, quarterly Christian magazine for children ages 6-12. Each issue is based on a theme (ie: Love, Faith, Obedience, etc.)  The magazine offers games, puzzles, and three exciting and adventurous Christian fiction stories in each issue.

We only accept submissions for fiction stories. We will not accept nor respond to submissions of poems, games and comics, etc. Maximum story length is 600 words and should be written for the 6-10 year old reading level.

Accepted stories are to be exciting, adventurous and must pertain to the issue’s theme. Stories can be contemporary fiction, historical fiction or science fiction, but, must all be Christian based. Stories should relate to, inspire and subtly teach children biblical principles. Stories should involve children of various races and ethnic backgrounds.

Accepted stories will not teach in a manner that places the child in school mode and will not have the feel of a typical small child storyline with puppies and kitties. Stories that do not apply to the quarterly theme will not be considered.

Each accepted story pays $100 for First Time World-Wide rights as well as Electronic rights with rights to reprint at a later date. $25 will be paid per story for reprints. Stories should be engaging and applicable to the monthly theme. (Paid on publication).
