Story Pirates - Review & Details

About Story Pirates

Story Pirates is the 'Hollywood' for a child's imagination. Its weekly newsletter is famous for its 'Creative Affirmation'—they treat a child's story about a 'Time-Traveling Hot Dog' with the same seriousness and production value as a big-budget script. It's unique for its 'Pirate Method'; their educational philosophy centers on the idea that the first step to being a great writer is simply believing that your ideas are valuable and funny. It is an essential read for any child who loves to make up stories and for parents who want to see their child's weirdest imaginative sparks turned into art.
