Majik Kids Story Submission Criteria

Hello Magical Authors,

We receive many submissions, but only the strongest stories are turned into Majik Kids Audio Stories & Illustrated Books. Below are the criteria we will be looking for when we read your story submission:

1. Your story is magical, fun, adventurous and entertaining.

2. The story would make a great “movie for the ears” – with voice actors, music and sound effects.

3. There are multiple characters with dialogue in the story – to make the character voices more exciting and engaging.

4. The story offers a positive message, life lessons, values or thought-provoking philosophy for kids to learn and grow with.

5. The story could have hours of classroom or homeschool learning activities to go with it (games, crafts, art projects, guided adventures, conversation starters, etc…) to help kids integrate the lessons and themes from the story.

6. The story would be fun for kids AND grown-ups to read or listen to again and again!

Before submitting, we encourage you to download the Majik Kids App 14-day free trial and listen to some of our existing audio stories to make sure your story is on the right track.

Submit Your Story

We are still a small team, so please be patient with us as we read through the submitted stories. It may take us up to 30-60 days to get back to you. So breathe, enjoy life & write another story while you wait.

We will NEVER share, sell or distribute your story until we have a written agreement with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will I be paid on the App?

The app will cost approx. $12.99/month for a family to join. It will include stories, music & meditations (plus a parent/educator portal). Up to 50% of subscription revenue will be put into an artist pool (after admin fee). Your story will count as a ‘piece of content’ and you will earn a ‘content engagement’ point every time somebody listens to more than 50% of your track. The same points are rewarded for stories, meditations & music. At the end of each quarter, ‘content points’ will be divided up amongst all artists (authors, illustrators, musicians, voice actors, meditation guides & producers) involved in all the content pieces (stories, music, meditations) and you will be paid your fair portion of the pie. Mmmmm pie!!!!

Does Majik Kids pay to edit, produce, and illustrate my story?

YES! Majik Kids has a team of professional editors, voice artists, musicians (to score music & sound effects for the audio) and a network of incredible illustrators to bring your story to life. When we're done with it, it will be an incredible illustrated book AND the most magical audio story you can imagine.

Does Majik Kids own my story?

No silly, you do. We simply own the licensing rights to publish it as a book and audio story.

Who is marketing Majik Kids?

We are building a marketing & sales team, rolling out a mombassador program and ultimately, are committed to doing what it takes to make Majik Kids a household name. Obviously, you spreading the word about this cool platform you’re a part of will help too. We’re all in this together!

Can I submit more than one story?

Absolutely! The more magical stories, the merrier!!

Fair Pay Publishing

As the first ever Fair Pay Publishing company, we pay our artists 50% of the revenue we generate from book and subscription sales, which will pay our authors, illustrators, musicians, meditation guides, producers and voice actors to bring their magical gifts to the kids!!
