Kid's Imagination Train was created about three years ago. It began as a blog and is growing by leaps and bounds. Now, readers can enjoy our magazine as a flipbook and can listen to features from our audio page. KIT offers fiction, poetry, nonfiction, book reviews and much more each month.
You may already know that our magazine engages children by providing them the opportunity to illustrate their favorite features and have their pictures published online. What you may not know about our magazine is that the staff of KIT donates their talents. Yep, that means, we don’t earn a salary. This scenario is rare. Most people want to get paid for their services. So, you can imagine how blessed I am to work with this wonderful group of individuals.

Book reviewer
and marketing director Donna Smith evaluates children's books for each issue. She also composes press releases and works on
ways to market our magazine. In
addition, she creates puzzles for our Word Scrambles and content for our
Facebook page.
Thrace Shirley Mears is our illustrator. She not only designs each
cover page of KIT, she helps in giving advice on the design of the magazine and
she draws illustrated titles for our features.
Sharon Olivia Blumberg is our
voiceover talent. She records poems,
stories, articles, and book reviews for our audio page so that
children, teachers, and parents can listen to their favorite features. The audio page also benefits children who are
visually impaired.
Ultimately, KIT
has three goals. We would like to offer competitive rates for writers.
We would also like to cover production costs. We would like to compensate the staff for
their amazing services.
We believe in keeping KIT a free magazine for children around the world. And you can help. If everyone who
read Children’s Writers World and Kid's Imagination Train gave $5.00, we would be able to meet our
goals. Another option would be to buy an ad on our sponsor page.
