Conference for Young Writers

  • YW

    This conference brings authors and students together to learn different ways to create stories. They will help students figure what works best for them and their story. Whether it is a song, a poem, fiction or nonfiction, news stories, comic story, everyone has a story to tell. Students will be able to receive feedback on their drafts from presenters and their peers and reflect on how to make their writings better. Writing can open a lifetime of opportunities for students.

    The Conference for Young Writers is offered to students in grades 3-8.
