Sixty middle and high school students participated via distance learning in a free eight-day writing workshop held at Boca Raton High School that was offered for the third year as part of the Oce Future Authors Writing Project, a collaborative effort by Oce North America and the School District of Palm Beach County.

During the summer workshop, students became published authors, learned how to improve their writing skills, gain hands-on understanding of how authors are published, and learn about today’s digital print and publishing opportunities. Students gain insight through interactions with Oce executives, as well as published authors, who lead interactive discussions with the students. Works from each student are compiled and digitally printed in final book form.

Workshop activities made all of the students think about what it takes to be an author. Oce contributes their resources and expertise to further the education process. They are committed to creating an inspiring educational program for youth. Oce believes that the age of digital publishing will open up more opportunities for these aspiring authors.
