"Thank you for this wonderful publishing opportunity for our Loudoun County children. I found a copy of your <1st> book in our school library, and I was so impressed with the idea that I eagerly shared it with my students and encouraged them to submit their stories. To inspire my seventh grade students, I shared with them my personal experience of having something published, and I was successful in getting a few students to submit their stories to you. Their stories will inspire others, and this moment will be remembered throughout their lives!"
Tammie L. Failmezger - Teacher Harper Park Middle School Leesburg, VA
"For any writer, no matter the age, publication of any sort is essential to growth and development. Mrs. Carducci has done a wonderful thing in helping young writers discover this important step. The success they feel and the lessons they learn will never leave them. The stories within this book are treasures, both as markers of their developing talent and just good reading! The authors should be proud of themselves - I know I was. Young Voices, Volume I was my first publishing experience, and I have been working hard since!"
Jen Coate - Author "Anywhere But Home" - Volume I "Knight Time" - Volume II
"Being published in Young Voices, Volume I helped me demonstrate what I am capable of as a writer. The experience has led to other publishing opportunities and inspired me to start a writing group to help other teens explore their talent."
