Samples of Our Student Work
Students in every Elephant Community Press workshop come out with a finished publication to share with parents and friends, whether it's an issue of a newspaper, a school magazine, or a professionally bound book!

All students go through the entire process of writing and publishing, from idea generation to drafting and revision. Those in workshops where the final product is a book also work on cover design, the dedication and author biographies, and have the opportunity to do readings of their work at a book launch party. After all their hard work, we have much to celebrate!

Proceeds from all ECP book sales benefit our charity partner, Room to Read, and the work they do to provide educational opportunities for children in developing countries by building libraries, schools, computer labs and more.
