Parents, teachers and members of the community will marvel at the hard work, imagination and dedication children devote to their books.

Children publish hardcover books with First Edition Originals

From preschool on up any child can become an author with First Edition Originals. Seeing their work in print is an outstanding creative writing tool! The hardcover books children publish look just like books you would buy in a bookstore.

All of our books are printed on high quality paper. The children design their own covers and we always include an about the author section on the back cover.
(See cover examples)

Publishing children's work is easier than publishing a yearbook. There is no special software just collect your students manuscripts, a photo for the about the author section and send them in. It is that easy! Publish in your classroom and be the talk of the town!

We make school projects easy and affordable...

The ability for a child to see his or her artwork and story in print is a fun and exciting way to promote reading skills, creativity and love for books.
