Publishing Fee

Since the founding of ECP in 2008, we have been committed to publishing books written by young writers — to provide a very purposeful and concrete goal for our students, and because we fervently believe their ideas and stories are worth sharing! 

At the same time, much work happens behind-the-scenes to bring these books to life and to produce the quality of books that our students and parents know and love. From 2023, there will be a publishing fee of $400 for all term-long publishing workshops and $200 for all short publishing workshops.

Online workshops:

Our online writing workshops will be conducted in LIVE sessions so our teachers can provide support and guidance to every student, and students can collaborate and discuss ideas with peers. Depending on the age group, students complete the writing by handwriting on printed worksheets or typing on Google Docs where teachers can monitor and give immediate feedback. The maximum class size for online classes is 6 students.

The online creative writing and publishing workshops for age 6-14 will have a one-on-one session for each student after the group sessions so that teachers can provide additional support on the revision process.

Prefer to arrange your own private or small group session at a different time? Interested in self-publishing or looking for one-on-one coaching with our writer-teachers to work on your own writing project? Please contact us!

Special offers:

  • Priority Registration: Priority registration for Spring 2023 students until 19 April when enrolments open to the public.
  • Refer-A-Friend: Refer a new family to ECP and receive $250 off.
