Manifesto

The world doesn't need more machine-generated stories.

It needs more imagination.

The future of writing belongs to kids who dare to create — not algorithms that remix the past.

Technology can spark ideas,

but it should never replace the minds that make them.

Middle-schoolers don't need shortcuts.

They need spaces that fuel curiosity,

communities that build courage,

and challenges that grow their voice.

They need to know their thoughts matter,

their words carry weight,

and their stories deserve a home.

So we built Coauthor — a haven for young storytellers.

A place where writing isn't graded or judged.

It's celebrated.

Where every chapter comes from a real kid, not a model.

Where creativity is a muscle, not a prompt.

Where ideas aren't auto-completed — they're earned.

This is where kids learn to express themselves.

Where they practice finishing what they start.

Where they grow into confident writers, thoughtful collaborators, independent thinkers.

AI can do many things.

But it cannot imagine a world that's never existed.

At Coauthor, we protect that spark.

We champion creativity over automation.

Effort over shortcuts.

Voice over templates.

Kids over code.

The next generation doesn't need more AI-made books.

It needs more human stories — written by human kids.

Let them write.

Let them wonder.
