On December 9th, 2023, Written Out Loud hosted their annual StoryCon, an event dedicated to honoring writers who have published books at an early age.
Written Out Loud is an organization dedicated to providing creative children with a community to develop their storytelling skills by giving them a safe and inspiring space to grow their courage, empathy and self-confidence.
StoryCon honorees shared short excerpts of their writing in front of an audience and were gifted printed copies of their works.
