Poets, essayists, and fiction writers read their works, often with commentary. Kids' Corner, the children's section of Wired for Books, features the stories of Beatrix Potter and other classic stories for children.

Wired for Books was chosen in 2006 by the National Endowment for the Humanities as one of the best online sites for education in the humanities.
