About

Have you ever dreamed of seeing your name in print? Do you spend your days writing or brainstorming your next great story? Then the BYU Young Authors Academy is the perfect place for you!

Join us this July 6–11 for an immersive, hands-on experience with local and nationally recognized authors. Get valuable feedback on your writing from both peers and BYU’s English department faculty, and connect with other young writers who share your passion for young adult literature. You’ll stay in BYU campus housing, participate in small-group writing courses, and have the opportunity to meet and get your books signed by acclaimed authors and illustrators.

This is your chance to grow as a writer, collaborate with fellow storytellers, and take the first steps toward seeing your name on a cover. Don’t miss out on a week that could shape your writing future—come to BYU and start turning your dreams into reality!
