“Story Monsters Ink is a great magazine for kids, teens, and parents alike! They offer great insightful articles in the world of literacy and publishing! When I first stumbled upon the magazine I knew I had to share it with the schools and librarians I work with here in Canada! Great for a wide range of ages, Story Monsters Ink is a great magazine to keep around school libraries! The magazine offers great in depth interviews with high profile figures and is a great tool for engaging and educating students! I really enjoy the reading lists and book reviews and really has something to offer for everyone, even reluctant readers! I was fortunate enough to have the chance to work with the people behind Story Monsters Ink and they are just as lovely as their magazine!”

“Story Monsters Ink is the most wonderful magazine for readers of all ages! They highlight incredible people in the writing community, and advertise the newest up and coming books that we'll all want to read! Every page is in full color, which is warm and welcoming and makes the experience so enjoyable! I would definitely recommend ordering a subscription! And order a subscription for your child's school as well!”
