Interested in being a published author?
What is the Josh Crews Creative Writing Club?
The Josh Crews Creative Writing Club is a special program created by the Flagler County Education Foundation in memory of Josh Crews, who had a passion for reading and writing. The club's mission is to inspire young writers by giving them a platform to create their own stories, poems, and essays.
A major highlight of the program is its annual anthology, "Write On!", which features the work of the student authors. The program culminates in a celebratory book launch event where students are honored for their achievement of becoming published writers.

The ability to effectively communicate and inspire is a lifelong skill that is valuable regardless of career choice. The Josh Crews writing project inspires young authors by giving them a means by which they can write their own stories and even have them published. When these students see their work in print it is truly priceless. This creates a fun and inspiring learning environment that truly helps shapes a child. Not to mention a springboard for future authors.
This program was established in memory of Flagler Palm Coast High School graduate, Josh Crews, who tragically died at a young age. His love of the English language and people in general was inspirational. He never met a stranger and was loved by many. His memory lives on each time a child participates in this life altering program.
