"Thank you so so much for the promptness in which you sent our books to us. I was so excited when I received them today. They are beautifully bound and just like we had anticipated them to look. The students were excited to see their work in print. This has made a positive impact on them and for that I am thankful. I hope to continue this project each year regardless of the grade level I will teach." Read More

"Writing stories can be hard for some students, but when I tell them, ‘Your work will be published in a book,’ they get so excited and really engage in the process! As a teacher, you know you’ve connected with students when they come to class the first day hoping to write and publish stories." Read More

"Oftentimes, papers, research work, and stories written for class are lost and forgotten soon after the work is completed. By publishing these stories into hardbound copies, student work is honored and shared with others to provide that lasting memory. There is no more powerful motivation for young authors to work hard to improve a piece of writing than publishing for an audience who will appreciate the work." Read More

I have had children who had their books published five years ago bring their precious books to show me and ask if I remember their story!" Read More

"The students’ children’s books were a sure hit! As I looked around the room and saw our students, along with some of the small children who were also present, parents, and friends laughing, bonding and sharing, it brought goosebumps to my skin. Fulton Academy students try to write a grant every year so they too can engage in the same experience and satisfaction that is so highly talked about at our school." Read More
