About the Conference
The Junior Authors Conference is specially designed to recognize,
affirm, inspire, and delight young writers ages 9 through 21.
The workshops will be kept short. There will be lots of breaks, good food
and opportunities to meet other young writers and some industry professionals.
The workshops are interactive and fun. All presenters have experience
working with children and youth and will deliver workshops that are appropriate
for this age group. Please note that seating at the conference is
limited.
