Take note of this week's Publishing House Speaker Series: This will be the first of a monthly series with storytellers, writers and illustrators who will inspire students with their experiences. See the article below for more info on this week's event and how Sycamore students can become Publishing House authors. This session does begin at 11:30 am.

Since the 1970's, students have shared their writing with patrons of our school library. What began as annual collections of poetry, short stories and recipes has evolved into Publishing House (PH). Publishing house supports student authors in publishing stories each year. Physical and digital copies of these works are given to the library and published in our PH Archive. It's time for this year's authors to start thinking about their 2021 submissions!

To get the creative juices flowing, diverse storytellers will share to inspire in our monthly Publishing House Speaker Series. This week, Sycamore’s Publishing House organizer Joanna Lord, will welcome new and returning students and introduce one of her closest childhood friends, the very talented, Taylor Orci.

Taylor Orci is a screenwriter based in Los Angeles who came to television through public radio. Some of her work includes as a writer on the Netflix series, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, for three seasons, writing pilots and starring in some of your favorite shows on Comedy Central, and numerous articles for publications such as The Atlantic, Elle, Cosmo, and Vanity Fair. Speaking will be followed by a Q&A session where students can ask questions. Since it is around lunch time, please feel free to nibble and zoom. The Zoom link is available on the Publishing House Canvas page. No need to be a Publishing House author to join; this event is open to all.

Visit the Publishing House website and learn more about Publishing House. Here, students can sign up as a 2021 author, view the PH Archive (Password: sycamore225), and adults can register to support our young authors as PH volunteers. https://www.sycamoreph.org/ph-2021
