Spring Highlighter Journal

The Spring 2024 issue of Highlighter has the theme "Characters." Just as in Rachel Lofton's cover illustration, characters draw us in. They give our stories heart to make them meaningful and relatable for our readers. This issue is packed with tips and insights from Mid-Atlantic kidlit creators to help us bring our characters to life. Like the Highlighter journal? Consider contributing!
