LitKids Create Presents
Books By Me Workshop gives kids the space to find their story, the confidence to tell it, and a spot in a real published anthology to prove it.
They have stories in their heads. They just don't always feel safe putting them out. Not because they can't write — because they haven't had a space that made them feel like their voice matters first.
Books By Me Workshop is that space.
Books By Me Workshop is a storytelling experience for kids ages 7–14. We start with identity, not instruction. Every session is designed to build confidence before we ever talk about format — because a kid who believes in their voice is a kid who finishes their story. We write, yes — but storytelling comes first. Kids learn to find, shape, and own their story before anything else.
Every student's story is included in the I Got a Story To Tell Anthology, published and available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and more. Their name in a real book, on real shelves. That moment changes how they see themselves.
We establish that every student has a voice worth hearing before we ask them to write a single word.
Kids build their stories using their imagination, their experiences, and their own creative direction.
Every session is a win. We celebrate before we correct, so growth feels like something to be proud of.
Every student's story is included in the I Got a Story To Tell Anthology — a real published collection available on major retailers. Their story. Their name. In print.
You're looking for a creative enrichment experience that gives kids something they'll actually remember — one that builds real confidence and ends with their story in a published anthology they can hold in their hands.
You've watched your child hold back. You know they're creative. You just need the right environment to unlock it. Books By Me gives them that.
Every participant's story is included in the current volume of the I Got a Story To Tell Anthology — published and available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and more. Their name. In print. For real.
Something shifts when a kid calls themselves a writer and has proof to back it up. That confidence follows them far past the workshop.
We're not building compliance. We're building kids who know their ideas are worth sharing — and who won't stop at the first sign of doubt.
Storytelling, structure, creative thinking. These aren't just writing skills. They're life skills — and we build them in a way kids actually enjoy.
Paula Banks is a children's book author, Creative Confidence Educator, and founder of LitKids Create — a youth literacy brand built on one core belief: every child deserves to see themselves as a storyteller before they're asked to perform like one.
