Write the future

Every student gets published

The Young Authors’ Book Project (YABP) is a yearlong writing and publishing project. Over the course of the school year, students get hands-on experience with every aspect of writing, editing, and publishing—from rough drafts all the way to a polished, professionally-published book. We make these books widely available for readers across DC and beyond.
