The Rising Voices Collective

Members of the Rising Voices Collective are author-advocates who:

• Published a piece of short fiction or "novella" in the Novelly library

• Use their gifts in writing and storytelling to celebrate diverse lived experiences

• Believe that we can create a more inclusive world through the stories we share

RVC is not just a creative writing program. Here, teenagers access a support team to publish and promote their work.

The SPEAK Activist Network

With book bans and challenges on the rise, students across the country are exercising their right to read. As part of the SPEAK! Activist Network, students support one another as they immerse themselves in the freedom to read movement and fight to diversify bookshelves in their communities.

Educator Resources

Kick off your lessons with a 10-minute conversation from the Novelly library! Our ready-to-go slides include quotes from published youth-written literature and youth-vetted discussion questions to engage and energize your students.
