Indiana Kids Getting Published

 Trying to go through my email before leaving for work, and this has been sitting for too long.

From MirrorIndy came 80 kids are published authors thanks to this summer project.

Local musician and author Tevin Studdard created the Literacy Entrepreneurship and Dreams — called LEAD for short — program this summer. Seven weeks later, more than 80 Indianapolis children are now self-published authors with books that can be purchased on Amazon.

“I can keep creating books, but true impact is doing it for the next generation,” Studdard said. “So giving them the tools and walking them through the step-by-step process of it all.

This sounds cool. It is also the kind of thing people elsewhere probably do not think of as possible here in red-state Indiana. But it does, and we need to support these kind of programs. They improve lives - the lives of the kids and our own.
