#SEYA2019 Memories

"My favorite part of SE-YA is meeting, talking to, and connecting with students." - Greg Howard, author of Social Intercourse and The Whispers
SE-YA Book Fest is a FREE one-of-a kind of event that takes place annually in March on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN. It is designed to place teens and authors of young adult literature in a setting to interact about what they love most -- YA lit! The primary goal of the Southeastern Young Adult Book Festival is to encourage and develop literacy in young adults by connecting them with authors, thereby advancing education in the community.  What better way to do that than to have a little fun?
"Interacting with real authors who made themselves available and were willing to allow students to reach out to them later brought so much excitement to our students!" - Rhonda Winton, educator, Coffee County Central High School
