Do you strive to be a writer whose words jump off of the page, engage the reader and leave an impression? Would you like to learn how professional writers write successfully? Would you like to receive personalized feedback from professional writers on your or your child’s writing? Does spending quality time with others who are also interested in writing sound like fun and a worthwhile investment? Then consider participating in our first Young Writers Conference July 25 and 26.

You won’t want to miss all the excitement: Learning from experienced workshop leaders and acclaimed writers Bill Myers and Angela Elwell Hunt as they share their varied experiences, techniques and advice; trying out expert tips and guidelines that will make an immediate improvement in your present writing skills; and mingling with fellow writers in a stimulating and creative environment sure to help even the most  reluctant, insecure writer shine with possibility and confidence.

Your time will be divided between key note addresses and writing workshops which will include collaborative writing opportunities, peer response and the possibility for personal comments from authors.

If you recognize the importance of cultivating writing skills and the life-long impact an intensive writing conference like this can have on you or your child's future, then act quickly to ensure a spot in this year’s conference.

The conference is especially designed to meet the needs of young writers in grades 4 through high school. Adults and parents are also welcome to learn alongside the young writers as the more mature writers incorporate their convictions, memories and life experiences.
