Their story, in their words…
My chosen project was to write and release a book of my short fiction stories. Publishing my own book was my biggest aspiration, and now I can proudly say that it is one of my greatest achievements.
When the Mark Evison Foundation visited my school to speak about their cause, and how they are helping students to reach their aims, I finally got the inspiration to take the steps towards achieving my goal.
Over the next six months, I wrote, edited, got quotes from printers. planned how to release the book, and fundraising. My friend. Krystal, helped me with her lovely illustrations and a fantastic cover.
My book, “Treasures from the Attic”, was launched on the 17th of October at the Open Evening at my school. I feel very proud that almost all of the copies were sold out in the pre-sale within 5 days of the launch.
I am thrilled at how the book has turned out and very proud of myself for making this long-drawn dream of mine into a reality. I have a deep gratitude towards the Mark Evison Foundation for their part in this project.
Overall, the experience was very interesting and exciting, although sometimes challenging. Despite all the hardships, I managed to persevere and emerge successful. I am thankful to have gotten this opportunity to push myself and learn new skills while doing something I enjoy.
