The Pageant Wagon Publishing Young Authors Collective features the original books of student writers and artists working under the mentorship of author and teacher, Kathryn Ross. Through literature, history, Bible, and art studies, Miss Kathy works with creative young people who love reading, writing, and storytelling—and have a story to tell of their own. Working from a student’s original idea, Miss Kathy teaches them language arts excellence through:
Story concept development
Writing and composition
Grammatical editing
Compelling use of rich language and figures of speech
Principles of art and design and illustration in varied mediumns
Stage presence for public speaking at book launch events
Marketing and communication skills
Commited work ethic and goal setting
Completed manuscripts are finalized in formatting and design before print publication by Pageant Wagon Publishing. Each book is introduced to reading audiences with a professionally marketed book launch celebration and student authors have opportunities to meet professional authors at various book events, too.
