Read and hear the work of our young writers!
Hearing our young authors read their work aloud is one of the highlights of what we do. They have the opportunity to share their work at the end of each session when we host a reading for parents & friends. Watch some of them read their writing on our YouTube page.
We also frequently post the work of our young writers on our blog. Curious to read more? Find their writing here.
Do you want to bring "Take My Word For It!" to your city? Know someone who may? We are looking to expand our program to more metropolitan areas - Spread the Word!
With an emphasis on imagination and helping kids learn more about their author-selves, we work primarily with 3rd- 5th graders (we have a few programs for 6th-8th grades).
We are looking for Moms who:
* don’t need to make a living, but would be interested in part time paid work (currently 30 - 35 hours per/month),
* are savvy about the primary schools in her area and/or serves on a school committee or on the PTA,
* are interested in education,
* are go-getters -- organized and self-motivated,
* enjoy writing,
* and are curious to learn more!
