a global magazine propelling young voices
As featured in Girls Write Now and Scholastic Art and Writing...
Our Purpose
The Alcott Youth Magazine is a magazine devoted to sharing the written perspectives of young people. It publishes work on a variety of topics, including current events, young adult life, and women's rights issues.
​
Our published works are primarily focused on young women from ages thirteen to twenty-two, as we feel it is crucial to provide a platform for their unique and often unheard voices. However, anyone who is interested in sharing their voice is encouraged to submit to the magazine, regardless of age or gender.

Our Director
Kaitlyn Donato is pursuing her A.B. at Princeton University. In her sophomore year of high school, Kaitlyn recognized that there were too few magazines focused on writing for and by young women and decided to create The Alcott Youth Magazine. With the magazine, she hopes to publish inspirational writing for all to enjoy.
​
Kaitlyn also oversees an affiliated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Books and Bridges, Inc., dedicated to reading books about women in leadership to elementary students. She hopes to foster a dialogue about women in leadership throughout schools and communities.
Our Editor-in-Chief
Sophie Kim is a high school student. As the editor-in-chief of The Alcott Youth Magazine, she works to empower young women and elevate their voices by sharing their writing, artwork, and photography. In turn, she hopes that their work will encourage and inspire other teens and young adults in communities across the world. In her free time, you can find Sophie playing tennis and cheering on her high school team. Sophie is also Vice President of Books and Bridges, Inc.
