Teen Lit Con 2018
Twin Cities Teen Lit Con is a celebration of Young Adult literature that provides teen readers a chance to meet their favorite authors, discover new authors and new books, connect with other readers and explore all aspects of the literary world beyond reading (e.g. arts, publishing and writing). This combination of plenary sessions, breakout workshops, and exhibit hall will give young people a chance to set their own schedule and priorities for the day.
