VII.School partnerships
Turn your students into published authors.
A mentor-led creative-writing program that ends with every child holding a real, ISBN-listed book. Their story, their name, and your school on the cover, listed on Amazon.

I.What this is
Run by a real publishing house.
Children aged 6 to 17 write a short story with our mentors and editors, and we publish it as a real book: an ISBN, printed, and sold on Amazon. For schools we run it as a cohort, end to end.

A stage, an audience, and their own book in their hands.
Our young authors are launched on a real stage, in front of a real audience. This is what the day looked like.
II.How it works
The unit we run.
Up to 30 students a session, published in volumes of 10, so every child is a named author on the cover. Your school's name is on every volume.
