Our celebration of young writers published from 2022 - 2023 included a book fair with sales and signings, author readings from From the Edge of the World, a scavenger hunt, and award announcements. We honored all the students who have been published with The Telling Room this year while launching our newest annual anthology, From the Edge of the World. Congratulations, authors!
