For example, I went to Tennessee's Young Writer's Conference. Another that I know of that has received glowing reviews is the writing workshop at Interlochen in Michigan. Interlochen is a boarding school for the arts that offers both summer and school year classes. Good luck, Anon! And I like what Jill said about genre^^ I was a bit disappointed in my writing conference experience because it wasn't specific to novels. I attended some wonderful poetry classes but I regretted that I never received any instruction specific to my genre.

I've met many teens at the regular writers conferences I've attended over the years. The best thing you can do is to Google "teen writers conference" or even "writers conference" and the name of the biggest city near where you live and you'll find some. It also might help to add a specific genre keyword(s) as to what type of book you are writing. Ex: fantasy, mystery, teen, children's, Christian, romance, science fiction, historical, etc.Jill Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943570354349667196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-68282887833920525962014-07-04T19:26:59.689-05:002014-07-04T19:26:59.689-05:00Yay!

I was just wondering if you knew of any other teen conferences that happens during the summer. I've never been to a writer's conference before but I'm thinking of going to one next summer or something and I've tried looking some up but I could never find any. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-89830152790850836432014-07-04T15:35:40.067-05:002014-07-04T15:35:40.067-05:00I went to the SW last year, and loved it.

It was Realm Makers, and I loved it. I got to meet Jeff Gerke and Steve Laube, as well as Tosca Lee and others. I had to save for two years to go, but it was worth it.<br /><br />I'm in college now, so OYAN would not work well for myself, but I may check it out sometime. I am going to start teaching creative writing at a home school co-op in the Fall.

Kansas City is quite a long trek from here, I'm afraid (I've never been that far west!), and I've never done OYAN...but I've heard such awesome stuff about it, so maybe in the 15-16 school year I can convince my mom that it's a good idea ;) She's already heard of it, too, which helps. Haha. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!

Like Michaella said, it's amazing to be able to talk about writing stuff without worrying about saying something "weird." Like talking to the imaginary people in your head. (I remember the one night I had an argument with my villain [aloud] and instead of getting people looking at me like I was crazy, everyone was laughing and helping my villain come up with comebacks. It was awesome.)<br /><br />And the fundraising idea is amazing, Michaella. Now I have an alternative to getting a job and walking there (which is what me and a few friends decided we'd do if it came to that XD).
