The Canon Solutions America Future Authors Project, a free program first offered in partnership with the School District of Palm Beach County, FL in 2006, was created to help inspire students with a passion for writing.

The Future Authors Project summer workshop provides students with insight into the process of writing, editing, and publishing books through instruction by certified teachers and insight from local published authors.

Throughout the workshop, students work on crafting poems, essays, and short stories to polish their writing, editing, story development, and critical thinking skills. The students' work is compiled and digitally printed and bound into a book using Canon printing technology.

At the Future Authors Project, students will:

• Work on writing poems, essays, short stories, and story development while polishing writing and critical thinking skills.
• Work in peer editing groups with other students to share their writing and reap the benefit of feedback from fellow writers.
• Have a professional headshot taken and printed with their biographies in the final published book.
• Participate in an official book release and signing in the winter where they will see their published books for the first time.

Please see the following videos highlighting the students who have participated in the program:
