Our Publishing Initiatives
Blue Kite Publishing was created to elevate stories shaped by movement, identity, and belonging—especially those often overlooked in traditional spaces. Our publishing work begins with a flagship anthology featuring selected works from our student writing contest, but this is only the start.
We envision a growing collection of student-authored books, cross-cultural narratives, and hybrid storytelling formats that reflect the lived experiences of young people navigating life between languages, cultures, and systems.
From annual anthologies to themed chapbooks and collaborative projects with schools and educators, each publication will serve as both a creative platform and a time capsule—preserving the voices of a generation in motion. Guided by a professional editorial team, our goal is to ensure these stories are not only written, but beautifully produced, widely shared, and deeply respected.
Blue Kite Publishing exists to launch young voices—and let their stories take flight.
Blue Kite Anthology
Blue Kite Publishing’s first print anthology brings together personal essays, short fiction, and poetry written by middle and high school students attending international and bilingual schools across Korea. These works explore themes of identity, culture, language, and belonging — stories that capture what it means to grow up between worlds.
Thoughtfully curated by our editorial board, the anthology is more than a collection of student writing. It’s a platform for emerging voices, a reflection of diverse lived experiences, and a testament to the creative power of young people navigating life across borders
Narratives for Teens
Navigating the complexities of adolescence, our narratives for teens delve into themes of identity, friendship, and self-discovery. Through engaging and thought-provoking storytelling, we aim to provide a mirror for teen readers to see themselves reflected in literature, fostering a sense of connection and understanding.
Adult
Embark on journeys of cultural insight with our collection of narratives for adults. These stories delve into the richness of human experience, exploring the intersections of cultures, languages, and traditions. We aim to offer readers a window to the diverse tapestry of human stories, fostering appreciation and empathy for the world around us.
