Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Hilltop Tier: An Anthology of Youth and Young Adult Authors! This book serves as a showcase and testament to the power of words in creative and literary arts. While we're all familiar with how words can shape and reshape thoughts, canvases and outlooks; this book is a reminder that words can reshape lives, as well.
Poetry and prose are not just a means of expression. Neither are they meaningless gestures or frivolous hobbies. Every business industry has need of creative expression. A product or service is nothing without creating buzz by word of mouth! There are entire marketing budgets dedicated to content that captures the imagination and attention of an audience. Who does that better than a well-written or well-spoken wordsmith?!! The ability to create worlds with words has literally been around since the beginning of time. So, when youth begin to showcase such a God-given talent, we owe it to them to not only give them our undivided attention, but to provide the resources, platforms and means to express it fully as a part of their destiny unfolds before our eyes! Writing poetry and fiction can become a source of income: a revenue stream that, like the words themselves, reshapes available landscapes for writers to sustain themselves. We owe it to our youth to give them the chance to take command of these streams of income as early as possible. This anthology is an open door for the featured authors to explore. Said door represents the beginning of endless possibilities for them as they see and own a published work with their names printed within its borders.What you are about to read is not just a collection of poetry; it is a collection of empowerment and employment poised to launch career paths and a business acumen that will steer them into adulthood. The format of the book begins with a poetic introduction followed by two sections featuring eight Youth and Young Adult Authors. Each contributor's featured suite will be introduced by a poetic prologue written by the publisher and inspired by each author's content. As you progress through the book, the final form of the publisher's poetic prerogative will serve as a complete epilogue to conclude the collection of poetry. Without further ado, Water2WinePress Publishing House is pleased to present to you: The Hilltop Tier: An Anthology of Youth and Young Adult Authors: VOLUME I!
