Make Way for Books has had a tremendous impact over the past 25 years promoting literacy in our community. Now they are finding creative ways to development a new app that will encourage a younger generations of readers.
Since 2016, every fall semester Professor Stephanie Pearmain’s ENGL 389 class (Intro to Publishing in the Children's and YA market) partners with the Make Way for Books app team for 8-weeks. Here students have the opportunity to not only learn aspects of writing for children and publishing, but the value in community engagement. To date nearly 20 stories written, for this class have been illustrated and published on the app.
