will go but i don’t write great stories haha
I want to go but I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it. 🙁
That’s too bad, Peace. I think you would really enjoy it.
I am sure you write awesome stories, Subbadra.
Remember, sometimes we write for ourselves and not for others. So if you’re happy when you’re writing, that’s a great sign that you’re writing great stories. 🙂
um what is the age limit? like how old do u have to be?
Young Voices is that “book” I see in the libraries sometimes… right? Ahaha, 😀
It’s an anthology right? Or something like that.
i wanna go but i don’t think i can make it
Yes, there’s an age limit. You need to be between ages 12-19.
Thanks!
Daria, there is a magazine called “Young Voices.” It’s a collection of work submitted by Toronto teens. Check this link out for the magazine:

We do ask teens (ages 12-19) to submit their creative or art work for this magazine.
So the conference is a way to connect teens with professional writers and to encourage them to submit their work to the magazine.
Hope this helps…
This sounds so cool! Gotta go check my calendar. 🙂
Are people who are already getting published in the magazine allowed to go as well?
Yes, Samantha. Of course. Those who have their work published in the Young Voices magazine are welcome to attend the conference.
Thanks!
Thanks for asking, I was too scared to; thought it would seem like bragging (kinda paranoid, can you tell? 😛 ) but I’m glad someone did. Now i can go to the conference guilt free! (that is, if i can make it…ah, hopefully I can.)
I will try to go to it.
