Community Voices - Isle of Wight.
Community Voices is a guided book-creation programme tailored to your group's needs, pace, and confidence.
Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly, seasonal or time-limited.
You choose the rhythm, we build around it.
Your Pathways.
Your Project, Your Pace Every group is different. You choose the rhythm, we build the creative structure around it.
-
The Project Path (6–12 Weeks): Ideal for schools or youth groups. A structured "term-time" course with a clear beginning, middle, and end, resulting in a finished anthology.
-
The Social Path (Ongoing): Ideal for Care Homes and Day Centres. A weekly or fortnightly "drop-in" storytelling hour. We collect stories over time and publish an annual "Community Diary" or memory book.
What You Receive
We handle the work. You enjoy the connection.
-
Structured Storytelling: Facilitated sessions delivered in person at your venue.
-
Verbal Story Capture: No writing experience needed! We use audio-to-text tools to ensure those who can’t write can still be heard.
-
Full Production Service: We handle all typing, editing, formatting, and cover design.
-
Worldwide Publication: Your group’s book is listed globally on Amazon and the Write Publish Books store.
-
Royalties: 20% of the RRP - Your organisation earns that money from every copy sold to the public.
If you ever wanted to offer copies at an event, fair or open day, we can arrange wholesale options. Most groups simply let Amazon handle everything and enjoy automatic royalties.
