Festival launches teen blog

Festival Staff / November 21, 2011

A new blog, Tucson's Teens Read, is a place to share thoughts, ideas, questions, and passion for books and the written word - and meet the Young Adult authors who will participate in the Tucson Festival of Books.

The blog's goal is connect teens to authors, their books, important topics, and to share the love of reading with others.

Every week an attending Festival YA Author will be highlighted. This means their books, topics and events will be focused on. Also, every week the blog will have a "Poet of the Week" where aspiring poets will have the opportunity to have their works published.

The blog is at tucsonsteensread.blogspot.com.
