The Young Authors Conference is designed to encourage and inspire young writers in grades 5-8, promoting student enthusiasm and competence in written communication. Through interaction with established authors, poets, playwrights, storytellers, illustrators, journalists and teachers of writing, students discover and explore their writing talents and potential. A general session for all students is followed by several in-depth hands-on breakout sessions. A book fair and autographing session with authors and illustrators is also scheduled.

2022 Conference will be March 8, 2022, at Northland Community and Technical College in Thief River Falls.This year we have 12 presenters lined up for this fun event! Students will be able to attend 3 different sessions throughout the day, participate in a book fair and an autograph session with authors and illustrators.

More information will be available at a later date.
