Are you reading the posts about people’s inspiring trips to ALA, hearing incredible authors speak and getting inspired for the work they do? Are you feeling a little jealous? Well, SLJ has put together an online teen conference for FREE, where you’ll have access to some of that cool stuff. The cost is reasonable, for sure! And you’ll get to hear authors like Maggie Stiefvater and Meg Medina, along with getting ideas about college and career readiness, using snapchat, mental health in YA literature, and serving the underserved. I signed up! I hope you can find time to attend, too: August 10.
