Young Authors' Alliance (YAA) is a global, youth-driven organization built to empower the next generation of writers. Founded by high school students in Southern California, YAA creates space for young people to explore storytelling, develop their voices, and connect with a supportive literary community.

​

Through free summer camps, workshops, a student Ambassador Program, and college prep mentorship, YAA offers meaningful opportunities for youth ages 12–17 to grow as writers across genres and styles. What began as a small group of passionate teens has expanded into an international network of aspiring authors across 20+ countries and 5 continents—proving that young voices have the power to create, inspire, and lead.
