Katie Eder is the eighteen-year-old Founder and Executive Director of the nonprofit, Kids Tales. Kids Tales brings creative writing workshops, taught be teens, to kids who do not have access to writing experiences outside of school. During a Kids Tales workshop, kids write a short story that is published in an anthology, a real book.

Twelve hundred kids across nine countries have participated in Kids Tales, and we have engaged over 320 teen teachers and published 65 anthologies. Kids Tales has been recognized by the International Literacy Association, the National Writing Project, Ashoka’s Youth Venture, AFS-USA, and Youth Service America.
