Cosmic Writers 2025 Annual Report

A LETTER FROM THE

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Cosmic Writers community, This year, it has become clear to us that storytelling is more than an art: it’s the future of literacy education. As a country, we’re in a difficult moment for literacy. Throughout the US, only a third of students can read and write on grade level. Meanwhile, generative AI has forced a reckoning with the way we teach writing — we need new ways to ensure that students are penning their own assignments, and even more importantly, we need students to come away with skills that will always be relevant to their futures. Summary-based (dare I say essay-based) literacy education isn’t serving our young people anymore. But where do we go next? At Cosmic Writers, we believe that the story is the answer. Narrativebased writing education bolsters kids’ innovation, interrogative thinking, and logical reasoning — skills that AI will never replace — all the while serving as a fun framework that students aren’t tempted to outsource to ChatGPT. The power of the story is why our students have: • Learned how to articulate themselves with clarity and confidence, like 10-year-old Mishika, who grew from a Word Camper hesitant to share her work to a writer who proudly accepted a placement in our 2025 Standout Writing anthology • Developed their critical thinking skills, like 11-year-old Caleb, for whom our activity book The Monster-Building Handbook was the first tool to ever motivate him to write • Crafed remarkable projects, like 12-year-old Mila, who finished drafting her novel in Cosmic Coaching Cosmic Writers isn't just a nonprofit; it's a movement to ensure that children learn to read and write in a way that helps them succeed. In 2026, we're poised to bring thousands more young people into that movement via our workshops, mentorships, and educator materials, which are now utilized in classrooms and community organizations around the world. We’re so grateful to you all, as always, for working with us to write the future. Keep on writing,

Rowana

Rowana Miller Founder and Executive Director

REGIONAL & NATIONAL

LIBRARY COLLABORATIONS This year, one of our top priorities was helping libraries become local creative writing hubs. Through a combination of workshops at libraries in the Northeast and training, materials, and ongoing support for our partners beyond our direct-service region, we’re proud to have equipped more than 100 libraries to provide storytelling programs to the youth in their communities. Select library partnerships include:

Pippi Longstocking and Summer Adventure with the New York Public Library This year, the classic children’s book Pippi Longstocking turned 80 years old. To celebrate, the NYPL and the Swedish Consulate invited Cosmic Writers to run tall-tale-writing workshops at 15 libraries across the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island. Inspired by Pippi’s strength and gumption, our workshop included crafting strong female leads and creating adventures in everyday scenarios. For the third year running, we also collaborated with the NYPL on their Summer Adventure Curriculum & Writing Contest. The Summer Adventure Curriculum, which librarians utilized across the full 92-branch system over the months of July and August, included two of our lesson plans: Afrofuturist Gadget-Building and Emotion-Inspired Poetry. To cap off the season, we returned to the NYPL’s end-ofsummer ice cream party to run a world-building activity for all students who submitted pieces to the Writing Contest.

Intergenerational Writing in Cape May This fall, we partnered with New Jersey’s Cape May Library System to introduce a variation on our signature monsterbuilding workshop. Combining our activity book The Monster-Building Handbook with our new Lab Assistant Guidebook, children worked side-by-side with their parents/guardians as they narrated the adventures of original monster characters. The twist? The grown-ups were the ones who served as their young people’s Lab Assistants. Our goal was to empower not only kids but also their parents and loved ones in a collective writing journey.

PROGRAMS

Training Sessions with Library Associations Over the course of 2025, we offered professional development for hundreds of librarians, hosted by regional and national library associations, including the Association of Library Services for Children. Throughout these PD sessions, we shared our best practices for establishing library-based creative writing offerings, from determining program structure to designing curriculum. We’ll be sharing our methods even more broadly as presenters at the 2026 American Library Association Conference.

SMALL & RURAL LIBRARY SPOTLIGHT Throughout the year, we worked closely with a cohort of rural libraries to establish creative writing programs. We made it a priority to reach isolated areas in which libraries are families’ primary “third spaces.” Made possible by a generous grant from the Tigris Foundation, this program served libraries in Wyoming, New Hampshire, Texas, Ohio, and Missouri. We worked with each library to adapt our materials and curricula for the unique needs of their patrons. The Montgomery City Public Library (MO), for example, used our monster-building workshop to support their local homeschooling community. The experience was transformative for 11-year-old Caleb, who was typically a reluctant writer. Before the end of the first day, Caleb had gotten excited about creating his eight-legged beast and even volunteered to help younger participants brainstorm about their monsters.

“This program was a wonderful way to start a writer's club in the library! The kids were very excited and spent the entire time writing... they really dedicated themselves to their monster stories. I was very impressed!” –Laurie, Brookline Public Library (NH) 3

IN-PERSON PROGRAMS:

WORKSHOPS & ACTIVITIES Our network of 30+ passionate undergraduate and graduate-student teaching artists taught workshops throughout the NYC and Philadelphia regions, injecting electrifying creative writing experiences into the school day and beyond. Many of our schools and community organizations have been bringing us in for several years now, and we’re honored to be one of their core literacy partners; at the same time, we’re equally delighted to have almost doubled the size of our partner network this year, primarily by expanding into the outskirts of the Philadelphia metro area. Highlights from the year include:

Workshops & More at the Hartranft School Our partnership with Hartranft exemplifies the way that a school can utilize a variety of our programs and materials to meet their students’ needs. Because of the fun, scaffolded way in which The Monster-Building Handbook introduces narrativewriting, Hartranft centered our partnership around interventions for students who struggle with literacy. We had the pleasure of coming for a class visit to kick off a monster building unit for Hartranft 7th graders. After that, the students’ classroom teachers taught the rest of the unit using the Handbook. Finally, to cap off the experience, Hartranft students visited the Kelly Writers House for a field trip and celebration day (more info about our field trip program on page 6).

“The workshop was much different to what I did before... I would highly recommend this to others!” –Vincent, 7th Grade Participant

Imagine That! Folktales & Superheroes During our summer residency at Philadelphia out-of-schooltime program Imagine That!, we ran our fairy-tale and folklore workshop, Tales with a Twist. Over the five weeks, students acted out haikus, created original “jungle hero” characters, and giggled over collaborative stories they told in a circle.

“The collaborative storytelling activity sparked so much joy and laughter that when it came time [for my co-teaching artist and me] to leave, some of the students asked if we could stay and continue the story with them. We wished we could have, too.” –Michelle, Student Teaching Artist 4

PROGRAMS

Monster-Building for Halloween In what has become an annual tradition, Cosmic Writers ran monster-building activities at Halloween festivals across the Philadelphia area. This year, we tabled at Smith Playground’s Barely Scary Halloween Bash, Eastern State Penitentiary’s Fall Festival, the Christian Street YMCA’s Spooky Celebration, and Natural Creativity Center’s Germantown Literacy Fair. While we know that monster-building is a year-round practice, kids are extra excited to create monsters in October — and our activities are a great way to ensure that literacy is part of the spooky fun. Some of our kids even dress up as their original characters for Halloween!

Dark Fiction at Middle College High School This fall, we visited Middle College High School in Queens, NY to conduct a five-week residency in a 9th grade English class. In the context of our Dark Fiction workshop, students explored horror, mystery, thriller, and supernatural writing.

“For many of [my students] it was the first time they have thought of themselves as "writers" and people with a story to tell. Over the course of the workshop they were excited to show me what they were working on and discuss ideas that they had both in and outside of class!” - Ms. Roach, 9th Grade Teacher

OUR PARTNERS INCLUDE...

KELLY WRITERS HOUSE & PACE UNIVERSITY

FIELD TRIPS In 2022, Cosmic Writers launched out of the Kelly Writers House at the University of Pennsylvania, and we’re proud that KWH remains one of our closest partners. On Fridays throughout the academic year, KWH lends us their Arts Café — a room typically reserved for professional authors to present their work — to host creative writing workshops for Philly-area public and charter school classes. This is one of our core programs: an immersive opportunity for young people to truly see themselves as writers, while experiencing the motivating environment of a university campus.

In one of the most exciting expansions of 2025, we partnered with Pace University to bring a parallel field trip program to NYC. Held in similarly inspiring settings throughout the Pace campus, such as their art gallery overlooking City Hall Park, these creative writing field trips are now available as an adventure for our school partners located in and around the five boroughs.

PROGRAMS

ONE-ON-ONE MENTORSHIP:

COSMIC COACHING Another signature Cosmic Writers program, Cosmic Coaching, is an opportunity for particularly passionate young writers to work with volunteer mentors who are experts in their genres of choice. Writers use these 8week-long mentorships to develop their voices, boost their confidence, and achieve individualized writing goals, which range from skill-based (“improve my use of poetic devices”) to project-based (“finish a draft of my short story collection”). Meanwhile, coaches — many of whom are preservice teachers — get the chance to grow as mentors while developing meaningful relationships with young people. Much like our field trip program, Cosmic Coaching began several years ago as a partnership with Pennbased Philadelphia Writing Project, and in 2025 we were delighted to collaborate with a second site: the Rowan University Writing Project. Cecilia, the mentor in the featured mentee/mentor pair below, is one of our first Rowan-based coaches.

Cosmic Coaching Mentee/Mentor Feature: Emily and Cecilia “[Cosmic Coaching] turned my 'eh' writing into 'I'll publish this, and people will love it!' writing." –Emily, 5th Grade Mentee “Cosmic Coaching really helped me to expand my teaching style. Through their guidance I was able to be slowly introduced to new ways of teaching which I think overall made me a stronger writing instructor of all ages. I also loved working with my mentee and helping her to achieve her goals!" –Cecilia, Undergraduate Mentor “My favorite part was Emily talking to someone who clearly has a passion for writing as much as Emily does, and being treated as an author from the get-go instead of like a little kid with a story... Overall, I think Emily learned more in 8 weeks about her passion than she has learned all throughout school. Cecilia gave amazing one-on-one attention and direction, clearly not making it a one-stop-fits-all for every child she works with but catered to Emily... Emily told me it was the best activity she has ever done.” –Laura, Emily’s Parent Like Emily, most students who sign up for Cosmic Coaching are self-motivated writers looking for feedback on their level. The 2025 mentorships supported our mentees in achieving remarkable accomplishments, including getting into college to pursue writing degrees; completing chapbooks and novels; and winning prestigious writing honors, including one YoungArts Award. We’re so proud of our mentees! 7

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN:

WORD CAMP In its sixth annual iteration, this summer’s Word Camp gathered more than 75 3rd–8th graders from around the US to connect in a virtual writing community. For two weeks, our campers came together to explore new genres, receive feedback from our talented student teaching artists, and bond over their shared passion for writing. This summer’s workshops ranged from longtime Word Camp favorites like Spells and Skyscrapers (urban fantasy) to new adventures like Storytelling for the Stage (scriptwriting). As always, campers ended the camp with portfolios of finished pieces in which they could take pride.

Choose Your Own Adventure: A Bonus Workshop Thanks to a partnership with Chooseco LLC, publisher of the iconic Choose Your Own Adventure series, we were able to offer an extra workshop this year, focused on interactive fiction. Campers’ stories asked their readers to make difficult choices, ranging from whether to protect a basilisk that enters the king’s territory (Kennedy’s story, pictured here) to how to escape a ghostlike creature that threatens to make a feast of you and your family.

Word Camp Standout Sentences I saw a girl's face pressed against the laminator and I screamed... tossing folders and pencils out of the way as I bumped into the racks in my hurry to get out. –Mishika, 5th Grade Word Camper, Blurring the Lines The woman at the door was not what she expected. She had a gravelly voice and she had nothing on but a robe. Elleanor could smell cigarettes everywhere around her. –Delia, 7th Grade Word Camper, Do or Die A crackle of static, then nothing. Agent Clover set the walkie-talkie down. Her mission: gather information about John Baker. The most dangerous criminal in the country. –Shritika, 8th Grade Word Camper, Do or Die

PROGRAMS

“[Interning with] Cosmic Writers was such a rewarding experience. I loved working with the campers, and the program creates an exciting, supportive environment that makes learning memorable.” –Sienna, Word Camp Junior Instructor Fountain of Creativity

Word Camp Featured Excerpt: “Sisters in the Pool” by Saira 5th grader Saira wrote this story in the Fountain of Creativity workshop, which guided elementary schoolers through a journey in adventure fiction. With the help of their imaginations (and, if they so chose, stuffed animal Adventure Buddies), Saira and her fellow campers explored different ways that their environments could inspire fantastical narratives. During the workshop, they wrote stories featuring their favorite songs, most treasured objects, and the places that were most important to them... plus some magic, of course.

In the Words of a Word Camp Family... Word Camp was our first-ever program, initially offered through the Kelly Writers House during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Michael has been a Word Camper since 2020, and this summer, he graduated from the camp. Here’s what he and his family have to say about the experience:

“Word Camp helped me fit into places where I thought I did not. Word Camp definitely helped boost my confidence and mostly, I loved my teachers!" - Michael, 8th Grade Word Camper

“Michael— and by extension, all of us— is so very fortunate to be a member of the Cosmic Writers family for six years strong now!! I simply cannot overstate the impact Cosmic Writers has had on Michael's intellectual and emotional development.” –Suzanne, Word Camp Parent 9

A NOTE ON OUR

EDUCATION APPROACH A common misconception about the Common Core Standards is that there’s no room for narrative. In reality, narrative-writing is explicitly mandated in many of the requirements — and it can be used as a tool for teaching even more of them. The Common Core Standards center a number of skills that we tend to associate with essays — synthesizing research, for example, and organizing ideas clearly and logically — but there’s no reason for the essay to be the exclusive vehicle for mastering these skills. Students can learn about the social hierarchy of Ancient Egypt by writing essays comparing and contrasting the artisan class with the scribe class... but they can gain the same knowledge, and engage with it just as deeply, by writing historical fiction stories about artisan characters who want to become scribes. And odds are high that they’ll be more excited by the second project, which is often the key to success.

“The students have so much fun that they don't realize they are learning at the same time.” –Gaylee, Director, Montgomery City Public Library Even beyond bringing more fiction-writing assignments into students’ learning experiences, we know that the principles of storytelling will serve them well in genres that are typically considered “expository.” Cosmic Writers’ education philosophy builds on a body of research, spearheaded by Dr. Thomas Newkirk, that shows that storytelling is more than an isolated category of writing; it’s the building block of all writing. When children write narratives, they’re learning how to convey information through the lens of plot — cause and effect — and that instills universal communication instincts. Cause and effect is at the core of how strong writers structure their argumentative papers, their lab reports, even their resumés. Above all, we know that writing skills are thinking skills. We use the story as a vehicle for supporting students to innovate, to define their beliefs, to articulate their ideas with clarity and confidence. Equipped with the ability to use words to engage with their world, our students are building toward adulthood as thoughtful, intelligent members of society.

“The students loved the books... I saw the growth in their creativity skills, [particularly their ability] to think outside the box.” –Ms. Willis, 7th Grade Teacher, Hartranft School 10

PROGRAMS

COSMIC WRITERS IN ANY CLASSROOM:

THE EDUCATOR TOOLKIT Now that Cosmic Writers has been offering engaging, standards-aligned creative writing workshops for four full years, we have an extensive curriculum with a track record of success. And we want this curriculum to be widely available so that all children can develop their writing skills via Cosmic Writersstyle learning experiences. That’s why we’ve been building an Educator Toolkit, designed to make it as accessible as possible for teachers, librarians, and community educators to incorporate storytelling into the way they teach literacy.

Professional Development

During traditional teacher education, few educators learn how to teach narrativewriting. We’re here to fill in those gaps. Throughout 2025, we worked with educators of all kinds in order to help them determine how to bring storytelling into their arsenal. One highlight was a workshop we ran for the Illinois Association of Teachers of English, which focused on using stories to assess students’ understanding and analysis of literary texts.

Curriculum Library

This year, we polished our curriculum until it shone. We’re now able to provide scripted lesson plans — complete with slide decks, handouts, and all other supplemental materials — so that any educator, anywhere, can teach our most popular units. While of course we encourage educators to adapt the materials in accordance with their teaching styles and goals for their students, we’re proud to provide everything they need to start teaching workshops ranging from VillainBuilding to Personal Narrative.

Activity Books & Student Resources

In 2024, we released our first creative writing activity book, The MonsterBuilding Handbook, designed as a fun tool to guide students through the narrative-writing process. Since then, we’ve released several new resources for students (including some that appeared in the NYPL’s Summer Adventure curriculum — more about this on page 2). Plus, we’re working on some exciting additions to this part of the Toolkit, to be announced in 2026.

2025 Highlight: Recognition in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards This year, the Handbook was selected as a finalist in the most prestigious awards competition for independently-published books of all genres. This recognition is all the more evidence that writing education doesn’t have to feel like school. 11

EFFICACY STUDY This fall, Cosmic Writers kicked off our first third-party evaluation of our programming. Supported by the Barra Foundation, we’re working with Catalyst @ Penn’s Graduate School of Education to conduct an efficacy study of our workshops in schools and afterschool programs. This IRB-approved evaluation will include a literature review, pre- and post-program survey data, focus groups of both students and educators, classroom observations, and statistical analysis of the effectiveness of our programming. The results will help us to better understand our workshops’ strengths and areas for improvement, which will enable us to more strategically partner with schools and community organizations. As of the end of 2025, we have completed the literature review, designed the research model, finalized our evaluation partners, and determined our primary research question. We look forward to our next step: collecting data in Spring 2026.

JOURNEYS IN WRITING:

THE CW CYCLE Participant in CW programming taught in schools, libraries, and community organizations Hired and trained to become a junior Word Camper instructor, senior in virtual instructor, and/or creative mentor in CW writing camp programming Mentee in one-on-one Cosmic Coaching program Cosmic Writers’ programming is designed to be cyclical and provide enrichment for children at each stage of their writing journeys. A student may receive a copy of The Monster-Building Handbook from a parent; attend one of our field trips with their class; and then sign up for a mystery-writing workshop in Word Camp. It is through these multiple touchpoints that our participants receive consistent writing instruction, thus becoming stronger writers in the long term. It’s central to our approach that each student’s journey with us is unique. As many of our Junior Instructors have gone on to become Cosmic Coaching mentees as the other way around. We even have participants referring us to their teachers! This year, a camper in one of our Philadelphia summer workshops asked us to come to her school during the academic year — and we did. Four years in, multiple Cosmic Coaching mentees have graduated to become Cosmic Coaches, and several of our student teaching artists have chosen career paths in education due to their experiences with Cosmic Writers. No matter where a participant enters their journey with us, we support them to their next stage and beyond so that they can meet their fullest creative potential.
