Future Authors Project
Marking the 18th anniversary of the program, the signing event featured 26 students who had participated in the program and gained valuable experience toward becoming published authors in a collection titled "Same Page, Different Book.”
Held at the Boca Raton, Florida-based Canon Americas Customer Innovation Center, the event was open to the more than two dozen students, encompassing grades 7-12, who participated in the program.
The Future Authors Project-a free program first offered in partnership with the School District of Palm Beach County, Florida in 2006-was created to help inspire students with a passion for writing. In the nearly two decades since, the program has thrived, providing high school students with an inside look into the writing process from idea conception, drafting, and editing through to publication.
"We congratulate everyone who worked so hard and earned their author credit and to all the educators and professionals who took time to help the students work towards this great accomplishment,” said Francis McMahon, executive vice president, Production Print Solutions for Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Canon is proud to support this program by providing the resources for these students to channel their passion for writing and creativity and the result is another outstanding book produced by the Future Authors Project.”
