Teen Author Boot Camp is an annual teen writers conference held every spring in Provo, Utah. The next conference is scheduled for March 13, 2021 at the Utah Valley Convention Center.
Nearly a thousand aspiring teen writers come to the conference to work with bestselling authors to amp up their writing skills.
Teens are encouraged to enter the First Chapter Contest, where their work is judged by industry professionals for the chance to win a commemorative plaque as well as a cash prize. Teens also have the opportunity to submit to our annual Poetry Collection curated by Leigh Statham and Melanie McFarlane and our annual Teen Anthology published by Owl Hollow Press.
