Partnerships • Collaborations • Speaking • Summer Teachers

ANI isn’t just a program — it’s a universe. And it grows best through people.

We’re always building new collaborations with schools, libraries, universities, arts organizations, literacy nonprofits, venues, brands, and fellow creatives who love the power of story as much as we do. If you’re excited about bringing more creativity, confidence, and community to young writers (or grown-up ones), we’d love to explore something together.

🤝 Partnership Opportunities

Schools & Educators

Bring ANI workshops to your students — Tiny Stories™, creative-writing days, author visits, or full-school story projects. Perfect for enrichment weeks, professional development, and literacy programming for grades 3–12.

Libraries

We LOVE libraries. We offer Tiny Story workshops, summer-writing kickoffs, and community story events that fold easily into youth/teen programming and summer reading promotions.

Universities & Arts Centers

From hosting our summer programs to guest lectures, teacher training, and adult workshops, ANI collaborates with institutions looking for story-rich, creative, high-impact programming.

Creative Partners

Calling authors, illustrators, actors, musicians, poets, comedians, and storytellers of all kinds. We team up for special workshops, retreats, camp surprises, curriculum moments, and collaborative projects.

Brands & Sponsors

If your company supports literacy, creativity, youth empowerment, education, or mental health, ANI offers mission-aligned sponsorship opportunities for:

  • Summer camp scholarships

  • The Tiny Stories™ Challenge

  • Community publishing projects

  • The Woven Retreat series

Your investment directly impacts young writers and supports vibrant, local storytelling communities.

Bring ANI to Your City

We’re exploring 2026–2027 expansion opportunities. If you’d love to see ANI Kids or Tiny Stories™ where you live, let’s talk.

Summer Teachers (Atlanta, Summer 2026)

ANI Kids is hiring a small, mighty group of summer teaching artists for our 2026 Shorts Camps and Novel Camps across the Atlanta metro.

We’re looking for warm, creative, kid-savvy humans — writers, educators, actors, poets, storytellers — who know how to spark imagination and build community.

Roles include:

  • Shorts Camp Lead Teachers (1-week sessions)

  • Novel Camp Lead + Assistants (2-week sessions)

  • Seasonal teaching assistants + interns

Ideal candidates:

  • Love kids

  • Love writing (in any form!)

  • Thrive in joyful, slightly-chaotic creative spaces

  • Are reliable, energetic, and game for anything

  • Have teaching or coaching experience (formal or informal)

If this sounds like your vibe, drop us a note below. We begin reviewing candidates in early 2026.

Book Kristen

Keynotes, workshops, teacher PD, corporate creativity sessions, retreats, and storytelling intensives — if it involves igniting creativity and helping people find their voice, Kristen’s your person.

A Little Note

We’re not expanding our internal full-time team right now — but we are building community. If you feel connected to ANI’s mission, we’d love to hear from you. Beautiful things start with a single story.
