We printed the first issue of Alphabet Soup magazine in 2008. The print magazine has closed and we are now a website for kids who love books and creative writing.
On our website you’ll find:
- book reviews by kids (for kids)
- author and illustrator interviews
- a list of writing and art competitions for kids
Are you still in primary school? We’d love to consider your book review for publication on our website, so check out the submission guidelines. Since 2014, all the book reviews on this site are written by children. (Illustrations on our website for posts prior to 2014 are copyright Greg Mitchell.)
Publishers and book creators: please read our book review policy on the Contact Us page.
We’re pleased to announce our new book-publishing arm: Alphabet Soup Books!
