Stephen King helps Maine kids publish pandemic-inspired book

[sandensea]

A group of budding young writers is about to publish a book with some help from Maine's most famous writer.

Stephen King's foundation covered the $6,500 cost of publishing a 290-page manuscript by students participating in Farwell Elementary School's Author Studies Program.

The students started with "Fletcher McKenzie and the Passage to Whole," a story about a Maine boy by Gary Savage, and then reworked it to reflect their experiences during the pandemic.

1. Those kids have quite a mentor.

Way to go, Stephen King. Very classy thing to do.

2. I've heard that he does a lot of things

for people, like paying for a playground with swings, slide, etc. for a town that didn"t have the funds or a place for kids to go.

Wonder why it cost so much to publish a kids' project.
