Give your child the gift of creativity this holiday season.
- No AI shortcuts. Just human creativity, confidence, and craft — in a safe, guided community
If you're here,
you've probably felt this
Missing your child's creativity
You know they have imagination — but school assignments, screens, and distractions rarely give them space to use it.
AI has started doing the thinking for them
You've seen the shortcuts. The copy-and-paste answers. The tools that remove effort instead of building confidence. You want your child to create, not generate.
Writing feels like a struggle at home
Every blank page becomes a battle. You try to encourage them, but it's hard to compete with videos, games, and endless scrolling.
You know they're capable of more
Your child has ideas, humor, depth, imagination — they just don't have a consistent outlet to practice and grow.
Safe online spaces feel… rare
Most platforms weren't built for kids. You want a place that inspires creativity without exposing your child to the internet's chaos.
You miss seeing them proud of something they created
Not something they copied. Not something AI wrote. Something that came from their own mind.
Introducing Coauthor

Join a Challenge

Collaborate
They work together with peers, sharing ideas and encouraging each other's creative process.
Publish
They share finished stories with the community, seeing their work come to life.
Celebrate
They build confidence by seeing their work recognized and celebrated by peers.
Start your child's first challenge — free
See their name on a published story
Kids feel real pride when they finish a story that came from their own mind. Coauthor gives them a place to create, share, and grow.
Unleash real creativity
Children develop imagination through original writing — not templates or AI-generated content. Coauthor nurtures their unique voice.
Learn collaboration
Kids practice giving and receiving positive, constructive feedback. It builds confidence, communication skills, and empathy.
Socialize safely
Every interaction is moderated. No private messaging. No unsafe content. Just a supportive, age-appropriate community.
Great creativity starts
with great safety.
Coauthor is designed to protect your child at every step.
Everything on the platform — stories, comments, challenges — is human-moderated for kid-friendly content. There is no private messaging, no personal information sharing, and no AI writing tools. Just a safe, guided space where middle-schoolers can create real stories with confidence.
Our beta parents
say it best
My 12-year-old never enjoyed writing — now she begs to do the next challenge. Seeing her story published was a huge confidence boost.

It's the only screen time I don't feel guilty about. Eventhough the website is easy to remember, an ipad app would be great.

Your
burning
questions.

Can my child use AI writing tools to write their stories?
