Young Authors Book Festival
Since 2017, the Young Authors Book Festival (YABF) has honored and supported student voices in writing. It is geared toward promoting writing and authorship in school-age children. Collaborating with children’s authors and literacy professionals, the YABF hosts a myriad of interactive activities including keynote presentations, workshops, performances, writing challenges, and more. Join us for this year’s virtual event!
The virtual Young Authors Book Festival is back! Our theme this year is “Bridges of Hope.” The date is set for Friday, May 14. You and your students are invited!
At the virtual book festival, young authors will participate in literacy workshops covering a wide range of topics and activities. Students will choose workshops like bookmaking, e-publishing, storytelling and theater workshops. These are organized into 3 grade levels: primary, intermediate, and junior high. Opening and closing keynote presenters give book talks and sign bookplates for books ordered ahead of time.
Included with your registration are: Participation in interactive live keynote presentations, with a virtual lunch with our award winning, keynote author; teaching toolkits and discussion guide for this year’s Community Reads; enrollment in two workshops for each student; entry into the official raffle; and order forms for all the featured books in the festival!
