The Young Writer's Conference (YWC) offers students the opportunity to explore a variety of subjects related to writing and creative arts. The YWC utilizes a number of authors, educators, experienced writers, and business leaders as conference facilitators. These local and regional talents inspire youth and encourage them to take their own talents to new levels. Session topics may include, but not be limited to: poetry, fiction writing, character and plot development, illustration/cartooning, writing for the arts, entertainment, travel, and journalism, songwriting, science fiction, humor, screen plays, calligraphy, etc.
The YWC takes place at Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato. This partnership allows students to attend individual hands-on sessions on a college campus in a closely supervised environment, without normal daily college activities and students present.
SCSC has recently formed a partnership with The Betsy-Tacy Society, sponsors of the Deep Valley Book Fest, in an effort to provide students with more opportunities to learn about writing and the creative arts. Please visit their website: www.betsy-tacysociety.org for additional learning opportunities.
