Océ Future Authors Project to be Unveiled at Book Signing
Extra copies of the book will be on sale at the library for $5 each. All proceeds benefit the District of Palm Beach Education Foundation and the Océ Future Authors Project.
Océ began the program in 2006 in partnership with School District of Palm Beach County. The program was created as a way to inspire young people to pursue their love of writing and reading. During the eight-day free writing workshop, participants hear from well-known authors, learn new writing skills from licensed language arts teachers, and are coached through a variety of writing exercises. As a result, students improve their writing and critical thinking skills, develop an understanding of how authors are published, and learn about today’s digital print and publishing opportunities. Student writings are then compiled, professionally published and digitally printed in final book form on Océ production printing system equipment.
