Hello teachers and school representatives! Thanks for your interest in The Student Publishing Program (SPP), which has been selected as one of the top 12 creative writing programs in the country by Web del Sol, the world's largest nonprofit publisher of periodicals. (Click here if you're a student.)

If you'd like this program made available for free to your high school as early as the 2009-2010 school year, please tell us below by filling out our short survey. Your answers will be confidential and you won't ever be obligated to do or purchase anything, regardless of how you answer the questions. We'll be working with a large but limited number of schools on a "first come, first serve" basis.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW: The Student Publishing Program is a free, school-fundraising creative writing program which uses high-profile educator resources to give students the writing skills and confidence needed to be published, and then secures the professional publication and promotion of their compositions - one piece of poetry or prose from every student in the grade - in a network of online literary magazines and a series of paperback books available in bookstores nationwide. One hundred percent of the author royalties from each school's book sales goes back to that school, creating an annual fundraiser of potentially thousands of dollars per school. Other program highlights:

- SPP provides a proven staff of marketing, promotions and PR specialists to help increase your own publication sales and to give your students the benefit of reaching the largest possible audience beyond their classrooms. We've received recognition for projects in over 100 of the world's most pervasive media venues, including Parade magazine, CNN, MTV, MSNBC, BET, AOL, Simon & Schuster, USA Today, US News & World Report, The New York Times, NPR affiliates, and Planet Report, an in-school current events publication that reaches 8 million high school students.

- SPP provides the use of its custom web-based technology that enables teachers and students to easily, quickly and safely publish student compositions online and in paperback books, without requiring any technology expertise. We also provide free, live-on-call support throughout the process of the program.
