Please join us as we celebrate the young authors published in the 2018 edition of Bluefire, the literary journal of the Leyla Beban Young Authors Foundation. Bluefire publishes outstanding pieces of short fiction by students in grades 6-12 selected from our "$1000 for 1000 Words" creative fiction-writing contest.

The event will include:

• readings of the stories by the authors
• remarks from guest judge and award-winning young adult book author Misa Suguira
  
• a panel with the authors moderated by YA author Lindsay Tam Holland
• a mixer with the authors
• Bluefire journals

The event is free, but space is limited. Please reserve your place soon!
