Young Author Proclaims “I Am My Scholarship!”

ATLANTA, GA, May 9, 2015 — At this year’s Writers’ Block Party at the Ron Clark Academy, young author Jacobi Copeland was presented with a $500 “I Am My Scholarship!” check. Jacobi has published two collections of poetry, The Divine Line and Inked, the sales of which have earned him scholarship royalties.

VerbalEyze is proud to have been part of this young author’s success. Mr. Copeland has been a VerbalEyze-featured author at the Decatur Book Festival for two consecutive years and participated in an Young Writers panel discussion before a standing-room-only crowd at the Art Institute of Atlanta in Decatur where he shared his experience as a writer and published author.
