We also welcome how-to stories how to send away for free things, hot ideas for a cool day, how to write the President and get a response. In addition, we're looking for easy crafts that can be explained in five simple steps. Stories in Girls Express have to be told in no more than 175 words. We prefer to receive ideas in query form rather than finished manuscripts. We're looking for visual puzzles, mazes, math puzzles, word games, simple crosswords, cartoons, and other ideas.
Seasonal ideas are especially welcome.
Please Note American Girl cannot reply or return a manuscript unless you enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. Please allow 12 weeks for a reply.
