From Classroom Stories to a Real Book: How Eshaan Became a Published Author at Just 10 thanks to PlanetSpark
I still remember the day Eshaan came home from school and said, “Mumma, I want to write a book someday.”
At that moment, it sounded like one of those innocent childhood dreams—like becoming an astronaut or a cricketer. Sweet, but distant.
Fast forward a few months, and I’m holding a real storybook in my hands.
My child’s name.
Printed on the cover.
Eshaan is officially a published author, and honestly, I’m still processing how that even happened.
This isn’t just a proud-parent moment. It’s a story of how the right guidance, encouragement, and platform—PlanetSpark, in our case—can turn a child’s creativity into something real, tangible, and confidence-boosting.
The Early Signs: Stories That Never Seemed to End
Like many kids, Eshaan always had a lot to say.
But saying it clearly? Structuring it? Writing it down? That was a challenge.
His school notebooks were full of half-finished stories, sudden endings, and big ideas that didn’t quite connect. Teachers often said, “He has imagination, but he needs direction.”
As parents, we didn’t want to push him too hard. At the same time, we didn’t want that spark to fade.
That’s when we started looking for a platform that focused not just on grammar or marks, but on creative thinking, expression, and confidence.
Discovering PlanetSpark: More Than Just English Classes
We came across PlanetSpark while searching for creative writing and communication programs for kids. What caught our attention wasn’t the flashy ads—it was the promise of real outcomes.
Not just “learn creative writing.”
But apply it.
Perform it.
Publish it.
From the very first few sessions, we noticed a difference. The classes weren’t about rote learning or rigid formats. Instead, Eshaan was encouraged to:
-
Think independently
-
Build characters and plots
-
Express emotions clearly
-
Speak about his ideas confidently
For the first time, writing didn’t feel like homework. It felt like his space.
The Turning Point: “Your Story Can Become a Book”
One day, Eshaan casually mentioned that his PlanetSpark teacher had said something interesting:
“If you work on this story consistently, it can become a real book.”
I smiled politely, not wanting to raise expectations. But PlanetSpark actually meant it.
Over the next few weeks, we saw structured feedback, guided rewrites, and storytelling frameworks being introduced—without killing his originality. His teacher didn’t correct him into silence. She shaped his voice instead.
Slowly, his story evolved from scattered ideas into a cohesive narrative.
Beginning.
Conflict.
Emotion.
Resolution.
From Screen to Print: Becoming a Published Author
The day we were informed that Eshaan’s story had been selected for publication, I had goosebumps.
PlanetSpark didn’t just stop at writing. They walked the children through:
-
Final editing
-
Understanding how publishing works
-
Seeing their story as a complete product
When Eshaan finally held his book for the first time, his expression said it all. Pride. Confidence. Belief.
At just Grade 5, he wasn’t just a student anymore.
He was a published author from Maharashtra.
What Changed After the Book?
Honestly? Everything.
Eshaan now:
-
Speaks with more confidence
-
Structures his thoughts better
-
Isn’t afraid of sharing ideas
-
Takes feedback positively
Even his school teachers noticed the change. His written answers became clearer. His oral presentations improved. And most importantly—he now believes his voice matters.
This is something no exam score can measure.
Why Publishing Matters for Kids (More Than We Think)
As parents, we often focus on marks, competitions, and certificates. But publishing a book does something deeper.
It teaches children:
-
Discipline and consistency
-
The value of revisions
-
Confidence in their own ideas
-
That creativity has real-world value
PlanetSpark didn’t just help Eshaan write a story. They helped him see himself as a creator.
A Note to Parents Who Are Unsure
I’ll be honest—I had my doubts initially.
Is this too much pressure?
Is it worth the investment?
Will my child really benefit?
Looking back, I wish I had started earlier.
In a world where kids are constantly consuming content, PlanetSpark helps them create it. And that shift—from consumer to creator—is powerful.
Final Thoughts: More Than a Book, It’s a Belief System
Eshaan’s book will always have a special place on our shelf. But the bigger win isn’t the printed pages.
It’s the confidence he gained.
The courage to express.
The joy of seeing an idea come alive.
If you’re a parent wondering whether platforms like PlanetSpark make a difference—this is my honest answer:
They do. When done right, they don’t just teach English.
They build voices, stories, and future-ready skills.
And sometimes, they turn a child’s simple classroom story into a published book.
