🤠📚 Calling All Young Authors!
It’s Time for Lone Star Press! ⭐️
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see your child’s very own story turned into a REAL book?
Well, Lindsey Lonestars… this is your chance! 🌟
Through Lone Star Press, our students get the opportunity to become authors, illustrators, and publishers of their very own story. They’ll dream up a story, put their creativity on paper, and ultimately receive a professionally published hardcover book featuring their work!
And let's be honest… how cool is it to be able to say:
“I’m a published author!” 📖✨
🌟 How Does It Work?
Click HERE and HERE for examples
1️⃣ WRITE + CREATE
Your child will write and illustrate their very own story.
This is their chance to let their imagination run wild! Dragons? Superheroes? Family adventures? Talking animals? The possibilities are endless! 🚀🐉🦄
2️⃣ PUBLISH
Once their story is complete, it will be professionally published through Studentreasures Publishing.
Yep — their name, their story, their artwork… in a REAL book! 📚
3️⃣ SHARE + TREASURE
Your child will receive a hardcover copy of their book at the end of the process.
Additional copies and keepsakes may also be available to purchase.
💙❤️ What Does It Cost?

Additional copies and keepsakes can be ordered if you'd like them.
