Beyond Words Author Hub
– Where Children’s Authors Grow Together
🌟At Beyond Words, our mission is to create inclusive stories and resources for every child. But we know lasting change comes when more voices join the movement — that’s why we champion and support children’s authors to bring their own inclusive stories to life.
🌈 A space for children’s authors to connect, share, and shine
From celebrating your stories through the Beyond Words Book Awards, to finding community in Storymakers, and joining forces in &Friends, this hub is designed to help KidLit authors expand their reach and impact.
Find your people. Share your journey.
Our Storymakers community is a free to join, safe space for children’s authors and those who want to create their first book to connect, share progress, swap tips, and grow together.
Celebrate your stories
The Beyond Words Book Awards recognise outstanding inclusive children’s books that make a difference in classrooms and homes. Enter your story, inspire change, and be seen.
Collaboration makes us stronger.
Through &Friends, we connect authors, illustrators, and partners for collaborations that amplify inclusion. From joint events to creative campaigns, it’s all about making a bigger impact together.
