Young Writers' Conference Gearing Up for 10th Year Anniversary!

 
   The Young Writers' Conference (YWC) is gearing up for its 10th year of producing professional seminars in area schools.  This anniversary is a testament to the schools, educators and communities that believe in creating stimulating learning opportunities that empower our young students to be successful.  The combination of inspiring keynote speakers, published authors, and noteworthy educators, all within the polished structure of a college conference, has proven, year after year, that students embrace being taken seriously and the opportunity to learn the skills that allow them to express themselves.    
 
savage"We are delighted to have achieved this milestone," stated founder Julie Moore, "and thank the schools, parents and educators that supported our efforts and share our vision." 
 
"From the beginning, we knew that creating an environment that was respectful of the students was crucial," continued co-founder Rena Svetic.  "Producing a professional event and recruiting accomplished authors and speakers sets high expectations and shows students that they have support for increasing their skills and expressing their creativity."

tomAbout 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 celebrating its tenth 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.  For more information, please visit: www.youngwritersconference.org or call 310-880-9176.
