Welcome to Share Your Story! Through a partnership with the National Book Festival and the Washington Center for the Book, we have author videos from Angie Thomas, Trung Le Nguyen, and Tahereh Mafi to help spark inspiration for writing and creating.
In Fall of 2021, local youth were invited to watch the author videos, write/create, and optionally submit their own work. All submissions are unedited to retain the intention of the authors. Check out their wonderful work for yourselves!
