This book is the culmination of the hard work and dedication of
student writers and illustrators from Mr. Healy's Advanced Creative
Writing class at Jonathan Law High School. The stories within this
anthology resulted from students immersing themselves in, and
following the writing process. Students moved each story through an
arduous gauntlet of brainstorming, organizing, drafting,
workshopping, and revising, in order to put forth their best work.
The stories represent a variety of genres, viewpoints, and styles,
but taken together they showcase the spirit of a group of
determined young creators who learned to Trust the Process.
