Young Authors Project

Why We Exist

To partner with schools in empowering learners to become published authors — building confidence, creativity, and a culture of reading from within the classroom.

The Young Authors Project is a partnership with schools that empowers learners to write. Our young authors are highly creative and consistently go beyond expectations, producing stories that are relevant to their peers and inspire a genuine love for reading in schools.

What Makes This Different

• Learners become published authors while still in primary school
• Stories are written by children, for children
• Books reflect African realities, cultures, and imagination
• Schools become part of a lasting literacy legacy

Our Impact

Through structured guidance and collaboration with educators, learners in Grades 5 and 6 develop original storybooks that are professionally published and shared within their communities.

This is more than a writing exercise.
> It is confidence-building.
> It is identity-affirming.
> It is literacy in action.

Published Books

Each title represents creativity, confidence, and the power of partnership between the author and our publishing team.
