Join Tri-Valley Writers on Sunday, May 19, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. at the Livermore Library as we celebrate the winners of the 13th annual “My Story, My Vision” high school writing contest. High school students in Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon submitted works in fiction, poetry, or nonfiction. As writers know, and as TVW Member Patricia Boyle once said, “It takes great courage for students to submit writing to strangers to evaluate and comment on it. I’m proud of the students who entered the contest and took the risk of sharing their work.”

So come support local high school students’ successes as the winners receive their awards and read their submissions. This event is free and open to the public.

Keynote Speaker Penny Warner will impart wonderful encouragement and knowledge to the students and audience alike. Penny has published over 80 books, including the three-time award-winning middle-grade mystery series, THE CODE BUSTERS CLUB. She has also written the award-nominee The Official Nancy Drew Handbook, and is the author of three adult mystery series, including Dead Body Language, How to Host a Killer Party, and Death of a Chocolate Cheater, as well as a newspaper column on family life for 30 years.
