Compilation Storybooks

Imagine if every child in your school could become a published author and/or illustrator!

Every student CAN be a published author! A compilation storybook is a book of short stories, poems, essays, artwork, or anything you can image. It is a perfect platform to showcase students’ talent in your own class or your entire school. By inviting them to submit their work, children, families, and communities come together through their active contribution towards a common goal. They will take pride when seeing their work published in a real book and will enjoy their friends’ submissions as well. You can use our easy online publishing tool or let us create the book for you.

Online Publishing Software

You can use our preferred online publishing software. More confident with your own online or desktop publishing program? Not a problem. We will advise you on how to set up your book before you start. This will help you avoid any issues when it comes to the printing process. For example, cover design is a bit tricky. You must consider things like, bleed, spine size, grooves, turn and endpapers. Do not worry, we have that covered. We take your work and create print ready documents for quality production.

Let Us Do The Work

Alternatively, we can create the entire book for you. Your student or community/club members provide the content, and we do the rest. There is an easy process involved in collecting the content. You will receive a publishing pack and guidance throughout this process.
