Arcola students have an exciting opportunity to have their writing published in a real book with Pen & Publish, Inc. The book will contain written work and artwork from our students. This will be our literary anthology, a proud reflection of the abilities and interests of our students. You will be able to order copies in advance at a discounted price through the school, and it will be available later through major booksellers. Our book will be a wonderful keepsake and the perfect gift for relatives and friends. Your child is sure to benefit from writing for publication. If your child’s writing is selected, you will be notified.

I give permission for my child’s writing to be published in The Apollo with his/her full name and grade. I understand that the anthology will be published as a paperback book with an ISBN number that may be preordered or ordered through a local bookstore or online.
