Bukmuk Author Studio · For Schools
VII.School partnerships
Turn your students into published authors.
A mentor-led creative-writing program that ends with every child holding a real, ISBN-listed book — their story, their name, and your school on the cover, listed on Amazon.

I.What this is
Run by a real publishing house.
Bukmuk runs Author Studio — a structured creative-writing program for children aged 7–16, run by a real publishing house, not a tuition centre or an events company. Children write a short story with our mentors and editors, and at the end we publish it as a real book: edited, designed, given an ISBN, printed, and listed on Amazon.
Every child finishes the program as a published author — with a printed book they can hold, a permanent listing on Amazon searchable by their name, and an author page online. We offer schools a dedicated institutional partnership to deliver this as a cohort program, end to end.
II.How it works
The unit we run.
We run the workshop in groups of up to 30 students per session. Students are then published in small anthology volumes of 10 young authors each — a deliberate choice, because it lets us credit all 10 children as named authors on the book's cover and Amazon listing itself, not just inside the pages. Every volume carries your school's name. You decide how many groups, which grades, and which cities — start with a pilot and scale across the year.
A standard batch includes
Step 02
1 mentoring touchpoint per child
One-to-one feedback for every young author, plus a written editor's letter they keep.
Step 03
Full publishing
Editing, design, ISBN, printing, and the Amazon listing — all handled by Bukmuk.
III.Delivery options
Two ways to deliver it.
Recommended for the pilot
Fully Online
All sessions over video. Mentor-led group sessions plus an online mentoring touchpoint per child. The simplest, most flexible option — and the easiest to run across multiple cities at once.
High-touch flagship
In-School + Online Mentoring
Our team travels to your school and delivers the workshop in person as a focused in-school intensive for each batch, followed by online mentoring for each child. The high-energy, high-touch option, ideal for a flagship cohort or launch.
You can mix options across cities — for example, online for one city and in-school for another.
IV.The book
The book your students get.
| Format | Paperback, perfect-bound, ~60 pages, 5.5 × 8.5 inch |
|---|---|
| Interior | Clean black-and-white print |
| Cover | Full colour, carrying your school's name and cohort |
| ISBN | Yes — a real, catalogued book |
| Distribution | Listed on Amazon.in and Amazon.com, searchable by the child's name |
| Copies | Printed copies for each student, plus copies retained by the school |
Where each child's name appears
- As a credited author on the book's cover and Amazon listing — because we publish in 10-author volumes, every child is a named author of the book itself, searchable on Amazon by their own name, permanently.
- On their story inside the anthology (byline).
- In the Table of Contents.
- On a dedicated “About the Authors” page with a short bio and photo.
- On a personal author profile page on bukmuk.com (shareable link).
- On an official “Published Author” certificate.
V.Benefits
Why it works.
For your school
- A turnkey, marketable program. Every anthology carries your school's name. Year on year, your school builds a library of books written by its own students — a marketing and prestige asset that is genuinely yours.
- Aligned with NEP 2020 — experiential, creativity-first, holistic learning with a tangible outcome you can show parents and boards.
- Stronger writing across the board. Parents and teachers consistently report better essays, comprehension, and creative-writing performance after the program.
- Zero operational burden. We handle curriculum, mentors, editing, design, printing, ISBN, Amazon, certificates, and author pages end to end. You provide students, a coordinator, and (for in-school delivery) a room.
For your students
- They become published authors — a real, permanent achievement, not a participation certificate.
- Confidence that shows up everywhere. Holding a printed book with your name on it changes how a child sees themselves.
- A portfolio piece for life — searchable on Amazon for college applications and the family bookshelf, years from now.
- They finish something — from blank page to a real book — guided every step.
Aarav held the book in his hands and just stared at it. He keeps telling everyone he is a ‘published author’ now.
I expected a writing class. I did not expect editorial-grade feedback and a real book on Amazon.
VI.Timeline
About 6–8 weeks per cohort.
From kickoff to books in hand.
| Week | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0 | Onboarding: scheduling, parent consent, group formation |
| 1–2 | Group sessions (online or in-school) |
| 3 | Drafting and story submission |
| 4 | Mentoring touchpoint + editor's letter |
| 5 | Revisions, author photo & bio |
| 6 | Typesetting, cover design, proof approval |
| 7 | Printing |
| 8 | Delivery to school + (optional) launch celebration |
Because every book carries your school's name and goes on Amazon permanently, we run the program cohort by cohort so each anthology gets full editorial care — we never trade quality for speed. A typical phased rollout: a pilot of one group, then the first full cohort in term one, then remaining grades and cities across the year. The pilot is the only commitment needed to begin.
