Thank you to everyone who was a part of Write Now! We had such a great time and can't wait for next year's conference.

What

The 4th annual Write Now: A One-Day Conference to Engage and Motivate All Writers (formerly known as the High School Writing Conference) for grades 9-University took place Friday, December 6 at Missouri State University. Students participated in two interactive writing workshops and enjoyed an opening session with Shaun Tomson, South African world champion surfer and author of the bestselling Surfer's Code - 12 Simple Lessons for Riding Through Life and the #1 Amazon teen bestseller: The Code - The Power of I Will.

Can I come without my teacher?

Although we encourage you to attend with your teacher and classmates, it is possible for you to attend alone. Just indicate that you will be attending on your own on the registration form, and give us your email address so that information can be sent directly to you. You will get detailed information about parking and check-in. Parking passes are available, for an additional $3, on the registration form. We have lots of volunteers to assist you. It's also Study Day on campus so no classes will be in session.
