I Was A Teenage Writer
Friday August 15, 2025 5:00pm - 6:00pm CDT
Regency B
Ever wonder if your favorite authors were once cringe-worthy, melodramatic teenage writers? Join a fearless group of authors as they dig into the archives of their youth to share the hilariously awkward stories, angsty poetry, and maybe even fanfic that started it all. Proof that everyone has to start somewhere, and sometimes, that somewhere is deeply embarrassing.
