We are working with Amazon UK to
give students across the UK the chance to become published authors through the
Young Storyteller initiative.
We know that when children write
for purpose, they are more engaged and enthusiastic. We have developed a
range of teaching resources which schools can use to help encourage their
students to write creatively. Their stories can then be compiled into an
anthology, published and sold as a paperback and eBook using Amazon’s
independent publishing service.
Schools participating in Young Storyteller will receive royalties for each book sold, and Amazon will donate
any profits from the sale of 2017/2018 books to us to support our vital work.
We successfully piloted this
initiative with a number of schools last year and hundreds of students from all
around the UK became published authors. All schools are now invited to take
part and can sign up now.
You can see some of the brilliant
anthologies already produced by schools and available for sale on Amazon:
