WSC to host Aspiring Young Authors Festival

WAYNE—The Nebraska State Literacy Association and Wayne State College is sponsoring the 29th annual Aspiring Young Authors Festival March 28, in Brandenberg Education Building second floor, from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

This year the authors will be Mary Meinking Chambers and Stacy Kreycik Miller.

In addition, nine students from Verdigre will return to the festival. They attended last year’s festival and were inspired to write a book about their experiences in the historic 2019 flooding.

Students from all schools in Northeast Nebraska are invited to attend and are chosen by their schools. Their selection is based on a creative, informative, or poetry original writing piece by the students.

This event is not a competition. The festival is an opportunity to allow young writers to “shine” with their talent, to meet students from other schools with this same interest, and to meet a nationally known and local author.

The event is in need of donations of any size in order to continue this festival. If you can help with the funding, contact Jenny at 402-750-7040.
