Star High Chronicles Series
Picture students from around the country, all champions and finalists of the Stellar Scholars Aurora Awards in Creative Writing, collaborating on their own initiative to write a series of fictional high school journals. This is not just a student diary, but a journal of day-to-day school experiences about an academy comprised of thirty-six Earth teens and fourteen E.T.s from a runaway asteroid.
Kelsey from the University of North Carolina, Victoria from Cornell, Larysa from the University of Michigan already have combined their budding literary skills to create the first two volumes in the series; at work on future journals are Amanda from Long Island, Megan from South Dakota and Ann from California.
As the focal assignment of the 2011 Stellar Scholars Aurora Awards competition, high school students are being challenged on the community calendar postings of NPR and Citadel (nee ABC) affiliates across the map to read this STAR HIGH series from Royal Fireworks, then write their own episodes with their own characters and their own plot twists about the sci-fi academy.
Winners earn $100 for having their stories posted and the added incentive of becoming eligible to co-author a future STAR HIGH diary from Royal Fireworks Press.
"I see it as a tremendous opportunity to hone your writing skills," asserts Kelsey King of UNC-Chapel Hill, "and to learn the ropes of the publishing industry. All the while, you are bonding with other young writers who share your dream of becoming a professional writer."
Class is in session at Star High, a.k.a. Stellar Academy of fabled Terra Summit, USA.
High school will never be the same.
