Annual Anthology Fundraiser
An anthology is a collection of short stories with a central theme. It can be by one author or many different ones. Every year, we will announce the theme for the upcoming anthology. Space is limited so we cannot guarantee every entry will be added into the finished book. Once all editing and formatting is finished, it will be published through Barnes & Noble Press and available for purchase.
Any profit we make on the Anthology will go back into the program to help young writers learn and grow.
If you are able, please consider supporting the program by buying one of our anthologies. They will include stories from kids in the program as well as other authors across the world.
2026 Fundraising Anthology
Inspired by old fairytales, this collection explores alternate endings as well as retellings of classic tales. Writers as young as 9 years old tell their tales in a new, entertaining way. From a break in at the Bears' cottage to a race between a dragon and a dwarf to Rapunzel hoarding lettuce and Cinderella throwing glass slippers out the window... this collection is a wild ride.
This collection features stories written by both seasoned authors and brand new. All proceeds go back into the program.
