Next spring, there will be a Teen Author's Boot Camp for teens 13-19. You pay 49$, if you register before February 1st, 69$ if you pay afterward. It's a one day event, on April 11 in Orem, Utah. It's also going to be conjoined with another major writer's conference July 23rd, in St. Louis, Missouri. You get a tshirt, drawstring backpack, bottomless soda, lunch, and a snack, etc. There will be twenty-five authors who will be there and a couple will be speaking.
They also have a first chapter contest judged by professional authors. You submit your first chapter before the conference, and the top ten receive full chapter critiques. The top three receive cash prizes and a plaque created by the artist of the Iron Man suit. Gosh, this sounds so fun. I really want to go and my mom's interested in it as well. One of my favorite authors, Jill Williamson will be teaching a class there. Here's the link to the website, if you're interested! This computer is being stupid, so it just hyperlinked the whole paragraph. Sorry:)

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
