For the past 3 years Talbie has attended the Teen Author Boot Camp
that UVU sponsors. This is a great event where they have many of the top authors for teens
come and they speak to the kids and have contests. This year some of the featured authors were
Shanon Hale and Aprilynne Pike.
They have a contest every year where kids can submit a first chapter of a future
book. Talbie has entered all 3 years and does a little better each year.
She has become such a terrific writer and has such an imagination. She also has a great love for the
Civil War and that was the theme of her chapter this year.
She had Dave read it and I helped her edit it. We were so excited when we picked her up at
the end of the day and she had won 3rd place! So great!!
This is a picture right after she told us the great news! She won some candy
and free books :) So very proud!!
