HELP YOUR STUDENTS GET PUBLISHED!
The Inklings Fresh Ink program allows youth authors to partner with mentors as they revise their completed novel. Once completed, the author is guided through the publication process that ends with a physical book they can share with their readers. For students who are ready to revise and publish a novel or book of poetry, Fresh Ink allows them to soar!
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Spark joy in your writing classroom using some of our favorite strategies that help youth writers play their way to the page. Our Writerly Play Kit gives your regular writing curriculum a creative boost through quick games, visualization activities, online videos, and more. These activities add variety and energy to your writing lessons. We hear back from teachers regularly that these games and strategies have won over even the students who dislike writing the most!
