The conference is at UVU on Saturday, April 11, and the cost is $49 if students register before February 1. The keynote speakers this year are Jessica Day George and Brandon Sanderson.
Teens at TABC will receive six hours of writing instructions for them to use on their path to becoming an author. In addition, they get to know others their age with similar interests.
This year we will have 25 amazing presenters at the conference, including New York Times best-selling authors Brandon Sanderson(Mistborn) and Jessica Day George (Dragon Slippers). In addition, there is a First Chapter Writing Contest, open to all registered attendees. First prize is $100 for both the junior high and high school divisions. Some English teachers have found this a great way to motivate students to begin writing a novel.
If you need a scholarship to attend:
Writers Cubed and several other authors are offering 10 need-based scholarships to the conference. Deadline to apply is January 21st. Part of the application requires a letter of recommendation from an English teacher (if possible).
This is not required, nor is it related in any way to American Fork Junior High.
