Cost Info

There is no cost to participants for this program. However, we do offer a few book writing opportunities where participants are welcome to take advantage. Most of those fees will cover publishing, printing, and copyright costs. The writers in that case will have 100% ownership of their work. This is optional.

Student and Volunteer Success Stories

My name is Tonia Reaves. I became a published author in order to tell my personal story, from trouble to triumph. Some really horrible things happened to me when I was a child. I wanted the chance tell my story as well as help others to share their own story. I am giving young adults who may be going through some of the things I experienced a safe space to write. They need a way to express themselves, and a way to tell their story. I want this to be a space to release and an outlet to relieve themselves of the trauma, I found that writing was therapy for me so I want to offer that to other youth, and young adults. Whoever is in need of an outlet I want to provide that opportunity.
