Publish a Student Anthology

For many young writers, seeing their name in print for the first time is the moment everything becomes real. Each year, Walpurgis Words for Literacy compiles the winning and selected entries from the Halloween Horror Flash Fiction Student Contest into a professionally produced anthology. This isn't a photocopied pamphlet — it's a real book, with real ISBN, designed and printed to the same standards as any indie publication.

The anthology program covers:

• Professional editing and proofreading of all selected student works
• Cover design and interior layout by experienced book designers
• Print production of physical copies distributed to contributors, schools, and libraries
• ISBN registration so the anthology is a legitimate, searchable publication
• Author copies sent to every student contributor, giving them a published credit they can keep forever

Being published changes how a young writer sees themselves. It transforms writing from a hobby into something tangible and lasting. Your donation helps us put that experience into the hands of students who have earned it.
