Connor Oney, an eighth-grade student at Medlin Middle School, was recently celebrated for being a published author. His short story, “The Apple,” was published by Young Writers USA in “Stranger Sagas: Tales of the Fantastic.”

Medlin celebrated Connor by hosting a book signing in which he signed copies of his story that will be available in the campus library. He also signed copies for his English teachers, Leann Shelley and Carrie Hatfield. Connor’s parents were also in attendance for the celebration.

Young Writers runs national writing contests for schools, helping to turn students' imagination and creative talent into confidence and writing skills. Students get to see their writing brought to life in a real, physical book that they can share with pride on their bookshelf.
