BriBooks and Education World’s National Young Authors Fair Highlights India’s Young Authors

New Delhi : The first-ever India National Young Authors Fair, hosted by BriBooks and Education World, has concluded, having encouraged more than 100,000 students to publish their first books and embark on entrepreneurial journeys.

In addition to hundreds of hours of reading and writing, the fair gave young authors a tangible memento of their published works, a platform from which to share their stories, a chance to hone their craft, and the chance to launch their own businesses. There were schools from all over India represented, and many of them took home multiple awards. Among them were Cambridge School – Indirapuram, JBCN International School – Parel Branch, Apeejay School NOIDA, Modern Public School – Shalimar bagh, Birla Vidya Niketan, The Shriram Millennium School, Bal Bharati Public School, and The Heritage School – Vasant Kunj.

After the event, Ami Dror, founder of BriBooks, said, “We are thrilled to have organised the National Young Authors Fair and given an opportunity to young authors to publish their first book.” We’re praying that they come away from this with a passion for learning and an interest in starting their own businesses. “As the curtains close on the National Young Authors Fair, we can’t help but feel a sense of pride and awe at the incredible stories written by the children who participated,” said Bhavin Shah, CEO of Education World. We are grateful for the opportunity to witness firsthand the impact that writing can have on individuals and communities. We appreciate BriBooks’ dedication and professionalism in helping to make this event a success.
