Write To Publish is a series of classes, workshops, and curriculum from Write from the Heart designed to take student writers from first idea to published book. Whether your student wants to write a novel, build a collection of short stories, develop a poetry collection, or craft a memoir we provide the coaching, the structure, and the professional editing to make it happen.
Every Write to Publish class includes individualized feedback from an experienced writing coach. Our annual classes add a dedicated beta readers group for peer collaboration throughout the writing process. And when the manuscript is ready, students work with a professional editor on our team. With over 25 years of experience in editing and publishing for each member of our Write to Publish staff, our team is ready to help students prepare their books for publication on Amazon.
No. Write to Publish classes are open to any student in grades 6–12. Some classes have prerequisites (Build Your Novel recommends a completed plan; Meet with an Editor requires a manuscript), but students do not need to have taken Write from the Heart classes previously.
Students publish through Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). Their book is formatted, uploaded, and available for purchase as a paperback and/or ebook on Amazon. Students have the option to get their own ISBN or use Amazon’s free one. The book is theirs and they own it completely.
Our workshops are four-week classes that start the first Monday of any month. Write a story, plan a novel, revise your drafts, or publish a finished manuscript. Each includes coach feedback on every assignment.
