The Mid-Cities Teen Book Fest (MCTBF) is an annual fun-filled day for North Texas teens to meet and greet
with nationally recognized and local authors, participate in a writing workshop, and learn more about upcoming Young Adult book releases.

What people have to say about Mid-Cities Teen Book Fest:

"I bought books, I clapped for authors, I sipped a Coke, I came home inspired! Thanks for a great event!"
-A Professor at TCC about 2018 MCTBF

"I’m glad I attended because I got to listen to authors who aren’t just literary geniuses—they’re just like everyone else with their own lives and problems to face. Two things spoke to me... one is that to be yourself when writing and it’s okay to collaborate with someone. You could get good feedback if you share your ideas with people and learn from them." -Student

"I think it was one of Samantha's favorite festivals so far! She raved about how well-organized it was and how engaged the teens were."
-Jacqueline Burke, agent for Samantha Mabry, guest author, 2017 MCTBF

"Thank you so very much for having me, and I'd love to be back! Your kids were wonderful and the festival went so smoothly!"
-Jennifer Mathieu, guest author, 2017 MCTBF
