The Young Authors’ Conference brings together committed young writers in School District No. 73 to work with professional authors. 2026 marks the 47th anniversary of this popular event. 

On May 1, SD73 students in Grades 4 through 12 may be eligible to attend in-person workshops at Thompson Rivers University. Manuscripts will be collected from these students and considered for recognition and the Marg van Dusen Award. Space is limited and this in-person event is subject to change.
