Newly available for purchase: build a monster with Cosmic Writers!

Cosmic Writers is now offering the opportunity to participate in a Cosmic-Writers-style creative writing experience anytime and anywhere. With the guidance of monster-builder Angelica Fearborne and monster companion Hubble, writers will build an original monster that can face off against the greatest monster-hunter of our generation: Angelica’s twin brother, Mortimer. The task will take grit, courage, and creativity… but we think you’re up to it. Will you join us in the lab?

  • The hungry Ceratosaurus went ahead to attack the 1997 Ford Explorer, flipped it, and punctured a hole through the car's sunroof, dumping out all the genetic paraphernalia and baggage. Scampering vigorously through one of the car's disintegrating windows, the administrator crawled out hurriedly as the Ceratosaurus roared angrily at the failed opportunity for food.

  • Ember died of mysterious circumstances. She had been found with a broken leg. She was laying on the side of the street like roadkill. The doctors assume she was hit by a car. But now that I'm in the Other Side, Ember has told me the real reason why she died. Which leads me to more unrevealed secrets.

    — Sophie, 9th grade, “The Art and Science of Fictional Worlds: Sci-Fi and Fantasy for High Schoolers”

  • My adventure buddy and I were walking through the magical forest when we heard a meow, followed by a flapping of wings. With a poof, a cat with wings appeared in front of us!
