Story Warrior Student Experience
Exclusive access for students and educators
Students from Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties will join us for two Student Days on Thursday, September 25 and Friday, September 26. These days will feature panel discussions and hands-on workshops where students can enhance their writing skills, and discover their unique voice. Plus, they’ll hear firsthand from their favorite authors about their journeys to writing and publishing books — stories to inspire them to be the author of their own lives.
Story Warrior Book Fair
Open to the public
On Friday evening, we’ll open our doors to the public for a special YA by the Bay Story Warrior event.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with authors in unique conversations and explore our popup bookstore and marketplace. The night wouldn’t be complete without author signings and photo ops.
