The Next Generation of Los Angeles Voices

The Project:
Following the success of our inaugural volume, Spring Heeled Jack Media is proud to announce the production of our second anthology. This isn’t a “school project”—it is a professional-grade publication featuring the raw, unfiltered, and brilliant voices of high school students across Los Angeles.
In a city known for its stories, these young authors are proving that you don’t have to wait for graduation to become a professional.
What’s Inside:
- Diverse Perspectives: A curated collection of short stories, essays, and poetry from LA’s most promising young writers.
- Professional Quality: Every piece has undergone a rigorous industry-standard editing and design process.
- The Pulse of LA: From the streets of the Valley to the heart of the City, these stories capture the reality of growing up in 2026.
Your Impact: By pre-ordering Volume II today, you are directly funding the professional publishing costs for a public school student. Your support covers:
- One-on-one mentorship with professional editors.
- Global distribution (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and local LA bookstores).
- The “First Copy” Guarantee: Ensuring every student author receives their own published book at zero cost to them.
Pre-Order Bonus: All pre-orders placed before March 30, 2026 will include a special “Founding Reader” mention in the back of the book as a thank-you for supporting youth literacy in Los Angeles.
Expected Release: Summer 2026. Support a story. Empower a student. Own a piece of LA’s literary future.
