SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- The inaugural Youth Authors Week, taking place from March 24-28, 2025, is a campaign celebrating the contributions of young people to literature and encouraging readers to read diversely, not just across race and gender, but also by generation.
Inspired by the impact of Banned Books Week in shining a light on the surge of book challenges in libraries, bookstores, and schools, Novelly Publishing is excited to launch Youth Authors Week, which highlights talented young writers, not just their own authors but writers from all over the youth publishing space. Whether you're a student looking for a relatable read, an educator looking for new ways to get your students excited about creative writing, or a reader of any age who prioritizes diverse voices in their reading list, Youth Authors Week calls upon readers to read at least one piece of youth writing during the last week of March.

"The problem has never been a lack of talent, but a lack of a spotlight," says Founder and Managing Director, Anna Gabriella Casalme. "We've noticed for a long time that inspiring youth writing is being published online every day, but often struggle to get into the hands of readers who need them most. We hope that our newest initiative, Youth Authors Week, can be a guide to the creatively inspiring stories by youth authors, not just at Novelly Publishing, but more broadly."

Teenagers across the country, how are you feeling?" Since then, more than 80 powerful short stories and poems from all over the United States have been published in Novelly Publishing's digital library that authentically reflect the themes, topics, and issues that young people care about. Founder Anna Gabriella Casalme was named to the Forbes 30 under 30 list in Education for 2023.
