Young Writers' Conference

ALERT: May 21, 2007

When we named this season's Young Writers' Conference "Write, Camera, Action!" we weren't kidding! We got a call today that informed us that our conference at Alta Vista is being featured on CNN Channel 68 (Time Warner Cable).

The segment is airing on the CNN HEADLINE NEWS, at 25 and 55 past the hour during the So Cal Edition, between May 21 and May 24.

We will have the clip on our website in a couple of days and will send you the link, but wanted to give you a heads up so that you have the chance to catch it "live."

This has been a ground-breaking year for the Young Writers' Conference, and we thank all of you who did so much to make it successful.

Our final conference is June 1st at Washington Elementary, and we are already scheduling for the next school year.

In the meantime, we hope that you all enjoy our moment in the spotlight.

With kind regards,

Julie & Rena

About Young Writers' Conference

In 1998, the National Writing Commission on Writing in America's Schools issued a call to launch a writing revolution in our country's schools; a call that was answered with the foundation of the Young Writers' Conference (YWC) in the Los Angeles area. Now in its ninth year, YWC continues to bring their program, which is organized like a university conference, to elementary and middle school students throughout the Los Angeles region. Pairing students with professional writers from a wide variety of disciplines, the students participate in a series of workshops designed to fulfill the mission of improving their writing skills by first instilling a passion for writing.
