Publishing PROGRAMS

Unleash Your Creativity

What better way to challenge yourself as a writer than to publish your work and share it? Society of Young Inklings offers mentor-supported publishing programs that strengthen your revision skills and end with the satisfaction of holding your finished book in your hands!

It’s time to publish your work. Congratulations!

The first step is to define your goal.

Do you want an illustrated final product to share with family and friends?

It is time for a revision challenge and the chance to professionally publish your debut book for the public?

Maybe you’ve published before, and you’re ready to take your revision and final book to the next level.

No matter your goal, we have a publishing program for you.

A guided, full-novel revision.

  • Work one-on-one with a mentor through a full-novel revision
  • We design and publish your book for online sales with an option to add a professional cover illustrator and an ebook for an additional fee

How You Can Support Powerful Youth Voices

At Society of Young Inklings, we’ve seen the deep impact of in-depth, one-on-one mentorship for youth writers. Youth build grit, empathy, and confidence during the revision process, working with an experienced author-mentor to navigate and solve the challenges that arise, and ultimately, by sharing their stories with the world. As a nonprofit, our goal is to provide this priceless experience with as many passionate youth writers as possible.

You, our fantastic Inklings community, make it possible for us to widen this transformative impact.

1. By taking part in Inklings programs, a portion of your tuition pays it forward for youth who may not otherwise be able to enroll.

2. By purchasing and reading works produced by our Inklings, you give witness to their voices, and support  future offerings.

3. By supporting Society of Young Inklings directly, you make it possible for us to offer scholarship and other free-of-charge programs for youth and educators.

 

Thank you, in advance, for seeing, hearing, and investing in youth voices. Â
