The Open Books Corliss Authors Project
In November 2007, a group of juniors at George Henry Corliss High School in Chicago wrote novels as part of a creative writing class. Open Books is proud to present the work of these dedicated young writers and thanks the volunteer editors, illustrators, and photographer who made these novelists' dreams come true.
For lots more information on the Corliss Authors Project, including TV interviews with 3 of the authors and photos of the gala book-signing event, visit http://www.open-books-press.org.
