About Schoolers Pen

Nurturing Young Voices Through the Power of Words Power of Words |

At Schoolers Pen, we believe in the beauty, power, and potential of young creatives. Our platform was born from a passion to give youth a voice — through poetry, fiction, essays, art, and meaningful expression. We’re building a literary ecosystem where talent is celebrated, nurtured, and heard.

Our Journey So Far

From a Simple Idea to a Movement for Young Voices

Schoolers Pen began with a single idea — that every young mind deserves a space to be heard. What started as a small literary initiative has blossomed into a growing platform where students, teens, and young adults across Africa and beyond can express themselves boldly through poetry, prose, essays, and art.

We’ve hosted contests, published inspiring works, launched a digital magazine, and built a network of passionate school-based creatives. Our journey is still unfolding — and we’re just getting started.

Mission

Empowering young writers and creatives through opportunities that elevate their voices, showcase their talents, and inspire bold expression across borders.
