In a world where children are often told to wait their turn, Children Pay Children is flipping the script—giving young voices a platform and rewarding them for their talent. Based in Los Angeles, this nonprofit children’s publishing organization is powered by a big belief: kids deserve to be heard, taken seriously, and recognized for their work.

Founded with heart, Children Pay Children started from a simple but powerful idea—what if children didn’t just write books, but actually got celebrated for them, just like adults? What if they were rewarded for their words, ideas, and imagination? The organization now holds writing competitions, publishes collections of children’s stories, and showcases young talent from around the globe.

This isn’t just about books. It’s about confidence. It’s about showing children that their ideas have value in the real world. Every story published is a celebration of a child’s voice. Every reward is a message that creativity matters—and that kids can be creators, not just consumers.

In our recent Love Writing Competition, children across the world submitted heartfelt pieces about what love means to them. The top entries were published into a beautiful volume, professionally illustrated and now headed for print. And yes, the young authors were rewarded for their work.

At Children Pay Children, young people don’t just write stories. They start careers. They make art. They teach adults how big small voices can be.

And this is only the beginning.
