Safety & privacy

The library is built so that a child can be read without ever being findable.

Pen names only

A young writer's public identity is a pseudonym such as MoonlightWriter. We never ask for — or publish — a child's real name, email, phone number, school, address or location.

Automated screening on every submission

Before a grown-up sees a story, it is scanned for contact details, links, social handles, addresses and requests to meet. Anything found sends the story straight back for changes.

Parent approval is required

Only the grown-up who created the pen name can approve a story for review. Nothing moves forward without them.

Human moderation before publication

A moderator reads every approved story and makes the final call. Until then the story is visible only to its own family.

No social features

There is no messaging, no comments, no followers and no way for children to contact each other. The library is for reading and writing only.
