FIVE STAR GRANT ALLOWS SCHOOL TO PUBLISH FOR FREE
(CHANDLER, AZ)-CHANDLER, AZ (May, 2009) - One lucky school will have the opportunity to publish its students' literary work thanks to a Kids Can Publish Five Star Grant that covers 100 percent of the price for Five Star Publications' Copper Publishing Plan valued at $995.
"I actually got the idea to offer a grant while visiting schools with my authors," explains Linda Radke, president of Five Star Publications, Inc. "Teachers would pull me aside and talk about how they wished they had the money to publish a book that was developed by their students. It's a great way to enthuse children about writing while teaching them the technical aspects of publishing, too. They could even use the book as a fundraiser for the school."
A poetry anthology, a school's history, a "green" book, a publication of students' favorite recipes or a collection of themed stories from students are just a few ideas schools that want to publish can explore when they submit an application for the Five Star Grant.
To apply for the grant, visit CafeGranted.com and click on "KCP Five Star Grant" to download a grant application, which includes guidelines and stipulations - one of which is that the book must be entirely written and designed by the school's students. The deadline to apply is October 16, 2009, and the winner will be announced by November 2.
