Know is a science magazine for children ages 6 to 9. We strive to engage our readers in a fun, informative, and interactive way, keeping in mind that children this age have a range of reading abilities and limited science background.
Every issue of KNOW contains short news items, regular departments, a lengthy section related to our theme, short fiction, activities, hands-on projects, interviews and more.
Fiction & Poetry: We are interested in receiving short fiction or poetry (theme-related. If you are submitting your fiction, please keep the following in mind:
- Fiction must be related, even loosely, to the theme.
- It is desirable, but not imperative, that there be a science “tie-in”. (In other words, don’t force the science connection.)
- We are looking for lively, engaging, excellent writing.
- Fiction submissions should be up to 500 words.
- No queries; completed stories and poems only.
- A bibliography is required for all retold folklore/mythology
Non-fiction: At this time we are not accepting queries or unsolicited non-fiction articles. If, however, you have experience writing about science for 6-to-9-year old children you are invited to contact the editor and you may also forward some samples of your published work.
