FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND LITERARY EVENT FOR TEENS IN WACO TEXAS

    WACO, TX, January 17, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- LitWaco has created a new event, CENTEX TEEN BOOK FEST ON THE BRAZOS, inspired by Mrs. and Mr. Guillory's desire to bring a diverse teen literary event to Waco, Texas. The first-of-its-kind event in the area earns a historical mark on the map for organizing award-winning authors from Los Angeles and Texas to visit with local Waco teens.

The event's goal is to enrich the lives of youths in the area, allowing them to engage directly with award-winning authors. Authors will discuss their creative process, share their work, encourage reading and writing, and answer questions. Teens can participate in creative writing workshops and enter a Literary Cosplay contest where tweens and teens can dress up as their favorite book, tv-series, movie, comic, graphic book, anime, or mash-up character. Younger readers will enjoy interactive reading times.

Details:
CENTEX TEEN BOOK FEST ON THE BRAZOS is free and open to all. Authors signing their work will have books for sale, and giveaways throughout the day are all part of the fun.
