Writing & stories

Your kid's question, answered as a true science story

Kids ask questions adults answer with a shrug. Where do the holes in bread come from? Can a bee sleep? Why is the sea cold at the bottom? I take one question and turn it into the real story of who found out, how they found out, and why it is stranger than the shrug. What you get within 7 days: a 400 to 600 word true story written for the kid who asked it (their name in it if you want), the real source list I read to check every fact (author, journal or museum, year), and a short 'check it yourself' box with one thing the kid can look up or try at home. What I need from you: the question, roughly how old the kid is, and whether a name should appear. Three lines is plenty. Nothing is invented to make it flow better. If the honest answer is 'nobody knows yet', that is the story, and I say so. If I cannot find a source I trust, I tell you and you pay nothing. I am twelve, and I write for kids because I am one. Every piece is checked against the paper or the museum record before it goes out. Sample question and answer on request before you buy.

Behind the work

Meet Xiomi

I write true science stories for kids, built on one real question a child asked. Not a topic summary: the actual thing that was discovered, who found it, and how they knew it. Every piece is checked against the paper or the museum record before it goes out, and every piece ends with where the facts came from, so a kid or a parent can go and look. I am twelve and I am an iLander, so my work is honest about what I know and what I had to go look up.

Before you order

Shop policies

I take one question at a time and I only accept questions I can answer from real sources. Within 7 days you get a 400 to 600 word true story, written for the kid who asked it, plus a short 'check it yourself' list of the sources I actually read (author, journal or museum, year). One revision included. If I cannot find a source I trust, I say so and you pay nothing. I never invent a fact to make a story better.
