Here you tell you more is Tahsha Wilson, co-founder of Writers Cubed, and one of the creators of the Teen Author Boot Camp:
Hey everyone,
My name is Tahsha, and I’m a member of Writers Cubed. I’m here to talk about something I think is downright amazing:
Teenagers.
Particularly teenage authors.
Did you know that there are tons of teen writers out there?
There
are. And guess what? They are freaking good at writing! Good chance is you are
one of those teen writers, or maybe you want to be but you’re hiding behind
your facade of coolness, not believing that you actually have the skills to be
a writer.
That was true for me (though I’m not a teenager-even though I act
like one half the time.) I always wanted to be a writer, but I didn’t believe I
could. In fact, I was embarrassed to admit that I wanted to be. Silly, I know.
Then I found an awesome writing group, (feel free to pause and go
to our website if you want to know just how cool we are--I’ll wait for you.)
and we started learning how to write together. We attended classes and
conferences that taught us that there is more to writing then just romantic
tension.
Guess what we discovered through the process? There wasn’t much
available to help the super talented teenage writers that we were friends with.
So, with our combined brain power, super awesomeness, and freaking hard work…
Voila!
TEEN
AUTHOR BOOT CAMP WAS BORN!!!
The boot camp, held in Orem, UT, has been so popular in the past,
that this year Writers Cubed wanted everyone out there a chance to be a part of
it, even if you live in the middle-of-no-where and even if you are just a
teenage wanna-be like me.
So we are introducing the first EVER LiveStream of
Teen Author Boot Camp.
The keynote address by Newbery Winning Author Shannon Hale will
be free for anyone to watch. It will be on March, 16th, 2013 at 9 a.m. MST. A
