Mark Twain Young Authors Workshop announced

Young authors in grades 5-8 from throughout the United States are invited to apply for the 2nd Annual Mark Twain Young Authors Workshop, which will be held June 23-27, 2008. Winners will get to spend five days in Hannibal, Missouri, Mark Twain's hometown, to study his life and his use of real life to create fiction. They will collaborate with other young authors and with instructors to develop their writing voice. For the 2007 program, six boys and six girls won full scholarships to attend.

Applications must be submitted by January 15, 2008. For further information, visit the Mark Twain Young Authors Workshop webpage on the Stetson University website.
