Melville, NY (Oct. 26, 2022)<\/em> \u2014 Select students at Jericho High School experienced first-hand what it\u2019s like to be a published author, thanks to the Future Authors Project, a writing workshop supported by Canon Solutions America Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A. Inc. These talented Jericho students produced a book titled \u201cWith Every Letter Comes a Story,\u201d a collection of their personal experiences as told through their own writing and photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Future Authors Project, which first launched in the Jericho School District in 2017, is an annual program that provides high school students an inside look into the writing process from idea conception, drafting, and editing through to publication. The students also participate in an official book launch, held this year on October 20 at Jericho High School, where they sign copies of the published books, printed on Canon production print technology by Suffolk Printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe stories included in the book are a collection of personal reflections, shared challenges and experiences from each student,\u201d said Dr. Daniel Salzman, Curriculum Associate for English Language Arts, Jericho School District. \u201cI am proud of each and every one of our students for creating this wonderful book and sharing it with us, and taking their first professional steps into the world of writing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the workshop is to sharpen writing, editing, and storytelling skills. This year\u2019s theme of \u201cletters\u201d gave the writers the opportunity to unearth their untold stories through a one-on-one message format, addressing recipients such as “My Younger Self,\u201d \u201cMemory,\u201d \u201cLoss,\u201d and \u201cA Stranger.\u201d As part of the program, students used Canon imaging equipment during the creative process to capture vivid photographs to accompany their written work. Canon equipped each student with an EOS M50 Mark II camera and provided training on basic photography principles. The writings and photos of the students were combined into the book \u201cWith Every Letter Comes a Story,\u201d affording each student a published author credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe would like to give a huge thanks to Canon Solutions America for helping us complete yet another successful book,\u201d said Heather McGee, English teacher, Jericho High School. \u201cThe Future Authors Project provides our students with the opportunity to unleash their creativity capacities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some of the students, this was the first time ever seeing their work published in a printed book, sparking strong feelings of accomplishment. Jericho High School Senior, Jerry Zhao, explained this was a proud moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a great experience collaborating with my teachers and fellow students during the writing and photography process,\u201d said Zhao. \u201cIt was surreal to see the finished product, and I think more schools should offer students wonderful programs like Future Authors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew MacCallum, senior manager of the imaging technologies and communications group at Canon U.S.A., Inc., visited the Future Authors students at the workshop this summer, to share his knowledge of photography and give tips and tricks about how to take great pictures for the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a rewarding experience to help these future authors and future photographers\u2014and show them how they can tell their stories through pictures,\u201d said MacCallum. \u201cWe hope the Future Authors Project strengthens these students\u2019 writing and photography skills, and enhances their critical thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting the Future Authors Project is in line with Canon\u2019s corporate philosophy of Kyosei, which is defined as \u201call people regardless of race, religion or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis program is a terrific example of what high school students can accomplish when they are provided with the right tools,\u201d said Peter P. Kowalczuk, president, Canon Solutions America. \u201cI always enjoy reading their stories and seeing the creativity and inspiration that goes into their work. There is incredible collaboration at work here\u2014from the students and faculty of Jericho High School, to the team at Suffolk Printing, to the staff at Canon U.S.A. and Canon Solutions America. We all come together in support of the Future Authors Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
