SPA Virtual Book Launch
There’s nothing we love better than celebrating our young writers and their new publications! Usually we have a formal book launch to celebrate the pupils' hard work. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to party the way we normally would. So instead, we’ve asked a few of our friends to help us launch these new books into the world by reading our young writers’ work.
Our Students’ Writings
Each year we work with hundreds of young people in our writing workshops. We publish everything our participants write and our goal is to amplify their voices one hundred fold. We hope you enjoy reading and listening to their work.
