Hi, I’m Ayana.
I am 17 years old, a student, and a poet just like you.
A few years ago, I fell in love with writing. But when I wanted to share my work, I realized how confusing and expensive the publishing industry can be. I decided to figure it out myself, and after successfully self-publishing my own books, I realized something important: every young writer deserves the feeling of holding their own book in their hands.
I started this project to remove the barriers for students. You don’t need an agent, a big budget, or years of experience. You just need your voice. I created this platform to guide you through the editing, design, and publishing process so that your poems can be read, shared, and celebrated.
Why Do This?
For the Experience: Learn how the publishing industry works from the inside out.
For the Confidence: There is nothing like seeing your name in print.
For the Community: Join a group of student writers who support each other.
How We Work Together
I know the process can seem overwhelming. I’ve broken it down into three simple steps to take you from a notebook full of ideas to a professional book.
1. Submit Your Work You don’t need a perfect manuscript right away. Just fill out the interest form and share a sample of your poetry. Whether you write about nature, personal struggles, or joy, I want to read it.
2. Collaborate & Edit This is a partnership. We will review your poems together. I’ll help you with organization, formatting, and design choices to make sure your book looks exactly how you imagined it—professional, clean, and unique to you.
3. Become a Published Author Once the layout is finalized, we handle the technical side of publishing. You walk away with a professionally bound book and the title of "Author"—something you can keep forever and list on your own college applications!
