Meet our publication team!

Each year, our Student Press Initiative publishes 20+ books in collaboration with student authors across the world. The creation of published work is no small feat, and we could not see these projects through to fruition without our team of publication coaches, who dedicate their time and expertise to each and every written piece. Each member of this team comes to us with deep content and pedagogical knowledge, and a passion for literacy, especially when it comes to creative writing.

Our publication team works alongside teachers  to:
​
  • Imagine and define the genre, audience, and purpose of each project
  • Identify desired learning objectives, essential questions, and targeted Common Core Standards that the project​ will address
  • Support the thoughtful analysis of mentor texts to inform student writing
  • Establish systems and structures to promote peer revision and editing
  • Support with project management, including: production calendars, overall objectives, and publication deadlines
  • Produce book release celebrations, where student authors often see their published work for the first time. These celebrations bring authors together and allow space for students to read their pieces to a wider audience.
