The phrase that made my year.

Young Author Project text message thread saying, “We’re published authors” with various celebration emojis.

After a year and three months since starting this project, our book is now live on Amazon as a paperback and on Kindle.  We are so proud of this achievement and extremely excited to continue working on the next three books.

The Art of Giving A Crap is live on Amazon
The Art of Giving A Crap on Amazon

This has been a huge undertaking; the Young Authors have put in a lot of hard work to make this book a reality.  In purchasing this book, you are gifting a group of young people with the rare real-world experience of becoming published authors before graduating high school.  That is more special than you realize, and we thank you, dear Reader, because together we have ignited a newfound passion and they want to keep going.

As their old 8th grade ELA teacher, I never would have imagined how genuinely cool this would be for us all.

P.S. If you do buy and read our book, be sure to leave us a review on Amazon. It will help our book be seen by more readers and give us valuable feedback that we’ll use for our next projects. Thanks again. ♥️

About Me

I’m a licensed middle school instructor (6-8th grade English Language Arts and Spanish) and published children’s book author with a heart and soul for Jesus. I love to teach using practical, real-world skills that kids could ACTUALLY use someday.

Students love to work with me because I strive to create an atmosphere of joy, creativity, and excellence.

My favorite thing to do is work on the Young Author Project initiative. It’s a newfound love of mine and the most fun I’ve had in a long time. To be able to create the opportunity for students to become published authors before graduating high school is unlike anything I’ve ever done before, and infinitely more meaningful. I wish I’d had something like the Young Author Project when I was growing up, and it’s my privilege to serve in this way.
