One 30-minute club session a week. A guided workbook. Their own story — imagined, drafted, revised, and illustrated — printed in a real book and launched at an Author Party & Book Signing.
A program of Isana — founded & staffed by kid entrepreneurs
Each week's session kicks off a simple home mission in the My Book-Writing Adventure workbook. Kids do the writing at home — 15 to 20 minutes at a time — and bring their pages back to the club.
Catch a great story idea with the What-If Machine.
Build a hero with a big want and one funny flaw.
Plan the whole story with the secret story shape.
Hook the reader with a first sentence that grabs.
The hero tries, fails, and tries again. On purpose.
The hero solves it — then the Title Machine spins.
Edit like a real author: two stars and a wish.
Design the cover, finish the art, submit to print.
Young Author Club works like a co-op. You can register your child for a hosted club, or get the kit and host your own circle of young authors — no teaching experience required.
Your child joins a small cohort (4–10 authors) with a trained facilitator. You get a one-line update after every session — zero prep on your end.
Prefer your own schedule? The self-guided option includes the lesson videos.
Gather a few families from your neighborhood, school, or church and host the club yourself — or rotate hosting between parents, co-op style. The kit does the heavy lifting.
If you can read the guide out loud, you can run this club.
Built so that any parent, grandparent, or teen can run a great club with about 10 minutes of prep a week.
My Book-Writing Adventure — 8 weeks of guided pages, try-again spaces, and final book pages, for every author.
Beat-by-beat 30-minute session plans, say-it-like-this scripts, and fixes for every way kids get stuck.
Watch every session run live with real kids — press play for the teaching moment, or just steal the moves.
Print-ready Certificate of Authorship, custom superlative awards, and the First Edition Author certificate.
The full Author Party run-of-show plus a step-by-step guide to turning pages into printed books.
Registration flyer, pricing sheet, and 11 copy-paste parent messages — everything to fill and run your cohort.
See it before you lead it. Every session in the kit comes with a video of a real facilitator — and a real club of kids — so you know exactly what Week 3 sounds like before you host it. No guessing. No teaching degree. Just press play.
The night it all becomes real. Every author reads a page of their story out loud, receives their certificate, and sits at a signing table autographing copies — while grandparents buy extras for the whole family.
"I wrote a REAL book and signed it like a famous person."
— every kid, by the end of the partyNot a club, not a class — a complete solo system. The workbook is the planning headquarters; the manuscript gets typed for real. Eight phases take a teen from idea to a self-published paperback with their name on the spine.
Every option ends the same way: your child's story, printed in a real book, celebrated at the Author Party.
