WHAT IS BOOK-IN-A-DAY?
Book-in-a-Day (BID) is a groundbreaking writing and publishing program that focuses on student-run publication—in one day. Educators spend hours looking for exciting ways to bring literature to life. The solution is Book-in-a-Day, a new fun-filled, hands-on literacy project that teaches students the fundamentals of creative writing and book publishing. Since 2007, we have completed the Book-in-a-Day program in 35 schools/programs in the US, Canada, and the Carribean, with more than 1500 student authors created. Read student blogs on BID here.
Book-in-a-Day is a one-day, intensive writing/publishing workshop where your students not only become authors, but they take on the responsibility of publishing their book. Three-to-four weeks after the workshop (depending on the quantity of books printed), copies of the student book are delivered and a launch is held to showcase the book.
In 2010, Kwame established the BID International Fellows Program. He took eight writer/educators to Tuscany for three weeks to write, eat, collaborate, and write some more. View video, photo, and blogs about the writer's experiences here.
