Five hundred students, teachers, and parents will convene in Daytona Beach Tuesday, April 28 for the annual Young Author's Conference. The conference, to be held at the Adam's Mark Resort, celebrates the writing accomplishments of students from each of Volusia County's public schools.
Schools use a variety of criteria to select students to participate in the conference.
Some schools make selections based on writing contests while others send students who have exhibited a love of writing. Three or four students from every Volusia County School have been selected to participate.
