Join Us Saturday, January 26th from 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM!
Our 4th annual Young Adult Novelist Convention (YANovCon) is just around the corner and will be held at the Millbrae Library. YANovCon is your exclusive connection to some of today's top authors. This free half-day celebration will include panel discussions, author hangouts, and book signings with at least twenty award-winning, notable and new YA novelists.
Not only will you get to connect with your favorite authors about their writing and publishing process, but we are also working with local organizations to help shine a light on the issues teens face inside the home and how they demonstrate their resilience. We’re constantly impressed with the strength our teens show and want to highlight their courage.
We are giving out free prizes randomly to those who attend and RSVP in advance, opens a new window.
