EPIC, the Electronic Publishing Industry Coalition(TM), is a global organization of published authors, publishers, editors, cover artists, and other industry professionals. EPIC was established as a strong voice for electronic publishing. www.epicorg.com
Literacy is close to the hearts of EPIC's members. In celebration of the new century, EPIC established the New Voices Young Writers Competition to encourage reading and writing among students ages 11 through 18, from public, private, or home-based schools. www.newvoicesyoungwriters.com. This book is an anthology of the winners from all categories of the New Voices Young Writers 2011 competition
The competition offers young writers an opportunity to learn about the versatility of eBooks and to experience a taste of the ePublishing world. It has promoted eBook awareness while inspiring young writers and poets to spread their wings and make their dreams reality.
Our children are not only the readers and writers of the future; they are the voice of the future.
EPIC has given that voice a place and time.
Here is that place.
Now is their time.
