About this opportunity
The Young Authorship Program is a one-on-one mentorship for children and teens who want to write, edit, and publish an original book.
Delivered fully online through eight personal video sessions over about four weeks, the program is open to participants aged 7 to 18, whether they are picking up a pen for the first time or have written before. Each session is guided entirely by author Jyotsna Bharti rather than a fixed group curriculum.
Participants develop their story from idea to finished manuscript, working on character and world-building, story structure, and editing, with optional daily email check-ins for extra encouragement between sessions. On completion, the manuscript is professionally formatted with a custom cover, assigned an ISBN, and published worldwide on Amazon in Print and Kindle formats, with the child credited as the sole author.
Each participant also receives a Certificate of Authorship, a digital badge, and a feature in the program's Young Authors Gallery. The program runs under WriteHub, the author-mentorship platform of Biotic Chronicles, where Jyotsna Bharti serves as Chief Literary Officer.
