Many of the remaining submissions dress up the inside of the book. Encourage teachers to devote class time to generating entries. Publishing With modern technology, publishing a professional-looking anthology is relatively simple. Still, if you have to type a hundred-plus manuscripts yourself, the book may never make it into print. Assuming kids have access to computers at school, accept entries only on disk.
Teachers can help by collecting all entries from one class on a single floppy.
This frees energy and time for formatting and editing rather than typing. For the cover, we use a high quality color stock with gray-tone art. Allow plenty of time. Find out how much time your printer will need, then add an extra three weeks. Two hundred fifty copies of a 72-page book, including the cover, should cost about four hundred dollars.
