發布故事：班級選集（青少年）

In this class, each student will write two short stories, then select one to publish in an anthology of the class’s work!

This is an excellent class for students who want to pursue careers in writing, as they’ll get to experience firsthand the process of writing, revising, editing, designing, and publishing their work.

This class meets once weekly over the course of twelve weeks for approximately 45 minutes per session, and requires time outside of class for students to work on their stories. Each session has a general theme or genre that students will connect their story to, though this is fairly loose and open to interpretation. You can see the themes below!

Students will be held to a high standard in this class-- we will not publish writing with grammatical or spelling errors, and we also have to enforce strict deadlines to ensure we can publish the book on time! Still, learners will absolutely be supported, encouraged, and celebrated for their writing. The class will also work together to title the book and design the book’s cover, though we endeavor to not treat either of these elements as a “competition” where one student wins— this is a group effort!

After publication, the book will be available to purchase online in ebook or print format; each student will receive one copy in the format of their choice (included with tuition of this class). All proceeds from book sales will go to a secular reading-related charity that the class selects as a group.
