MAN UP! Teen Author Boot Camp

Submitted by tara.pina on

A little thing called Teen Author Boot Camp is pretty much a comic con for books. (Except it's for teenagers, you learn stuff, most of the merch is free, and you get to see authors.) Yeah. Comic con for books.

The only difference is there are two ways in order to get in. You can either be a normal person and pay to get in… Or you could be a boss and write a short story to submit to them and see if you are a decent enough writer to even get in. So let's meet some of them!

NAME: CHLOE SLEIGHT

GENRE: FANTASY

SUMMARY: Girl with lost family locates a well with the capabilities of traveling to an alternate world of magic.

Spotlight: Lizzie Kurban

Submitted by tara.pina on

Lizzie Kurban is a 9th grader here at Springville Junior High. She’s incredibly sweet and funny, and such a great person to be around. She’s pretty interesting, so if you want to know more about her, just keep on reading!

Lizzie wouldn’t consider herself well known, and is, generally, a friendly person. She thinks that peer pressure is dangerous and would define it as someone saying “do this,” and you’re like “eh,” and they’re like “do it and you’re cool, do and you’re cool.” Then you’re just like, “ok.” She would convince someone someone to do something that they don’t want to by talking to them about it, and try to tell them how it’s beneficial to them.

Kennedy Davis Spotlight!

Submitted by tara.pina on

Determined, athletic, kind, that’s the type of person Kennedy is. She is a seventh grader here at Springville Jr. High School.

She has two brothers and one sister which are all an amazing bunch. Because of that and many other reasons her family would be the one thing she cannot live without.

Kennedy’s knowledge on life or her philosophy is: “If you fail it’s okay just keep going.” I encourage you all to take that advice and the advice of getting to know Kennedy more.

Her biggest challenge has been almost moving to Georgia. Luckily that isn’t the plan anymore.
