Congratulations to these incredible creatives for earning the District Award for their Young Author Manuscripts!
The Young Authors Contest is an independent, voluntary, at-home project for students interested in writing and publishing their work for others to read. This year we had more than 200 writers submit work. This year's stories spanned a range of themes, from grief to humor, magic to mystery and present day to historical fiction.
Excellent job from this year's winners!
