Children's Author and literacy advocate, Melissa Williams recognized 55 young published authors on Saturday, December 7 at her 4th annual "I Write..." Anthology Ceremony at the Houston Public Library Downtown. These students were chosen to have their own written stories published by Williams' publishing company, LongTale Publishing.

Williams hopes to encourage and inspire students to continue to read and write outside of the classroom by utilizing their creativity and imagination through her literacy non-profit organization, READ3Zero.
