ABOUT Bedtime-Story
Since
Its Debut in 1996 - The Bedtime-Story Literacy Project has functioned
as a cooperative effort, giving talented authors and illustrators, both
published and unpublished, the opportunity to familiarize traditional
publishers, as well as the parents of young readers, with the quality
of their creative work.
The site was designed to
encourage literary and artistic creativity. We mentor, and provide editing
as well as encouragement, to talented authors and artists whose works
will undoubtedly influence young minds. Towards that end, we also strive
for artistic synergy. An illustrator's work imparts visual depth to
the author's tale, and the story helps to bring an illustrator's work
to life.
Bedtime-Story's primary
goal is to promote literacy, and help instill a lifetime joy of reading.
Bedtime-Story supports and
encourages a strong parent-child relationship. We select works for publication
which are judged to be entertaining, with the intent of fostering a
positive shared experience that will remain in the child's memory for
years to come.
