Guest Young Authors & Illustrators

Because of the enormous popularity of our 6-9 year old Guest Young Illustrator Contest, the editors of Franklin Mason Press is extending the writing aspect of the contest to children ages 9-12 years old. The first, second, and third place winners will have their work published in one of our upcoming chapter books. In addition, winners receive $ 50.00, $40.00, and $30.00, a book, an award, and we work with their school or a local library/book store to throw a party where they get to autograph books.
