A nonprofit book making project, The Neighborhood Story Project helps writers in New Orleans create and publish books about their communities. Successful endeavors include a book-making program at John McDonogh Senior High, where high school students learn creative nonfiction, photography, and in-depth interviewing so they can write books about their lives and communities. So far several books have been published. There's also an oral history project that encourages neighbors of the seventh ward to share stories about their lives with one another.
