Support a Young Author

Every LEAP scholar becomes a published author through Storytime Village's Literacy, Entrepreneurship, Arts, and Publishing (LEAP) Program. While the program is provided at no cost to participating families, creating a professionally published book involves real expenses, including writing instruction, illustration, graphic design, editing, formatting, printing, and publishing.

Each book is $20, and every young author receives a portion of the proceeds from every book sold. The remaining funds help cover the cost of producing the books and allow Storytime Village to continue providing this life-changing opportunity to more children.

When you purchase a book, you're doing more than buying a story—you are investing in a child's confidence, creativity, literacy skills, entrepreneurial journey, and future. Your support celebrates a young author's accomplishment while helping inspire the next generation of readers, writers, and leaders.

Thank you for believing in our young authors and helping them LEAP forward!
